This  application  faithfully  done,  will  remove  the 
mountains  of  wars  as  well  as  all  other  errors.  All  false 
beliefs  vanish  before  this  leaching  now  as  it  did  in  the

INTRODUCTION. 

E  have  given  this  teaching  in  varied  forms,  but 
have  never  left  out  Abba;    this  is  the  one  thing 
needful  to  all  mankind     to  know  that     Mother- 
Father,  or,  as  Christ  Jesus  taught  it,  Abba-Atta  is  the 
name  of  Spirit;  this  name  in  plain  English     is  Mother- 
Father.    The  only  way  then,  to  follow  Christ  Jesus  is  to 
•*  ;  ,}    think,  say,  talk  or  tell  our  f  ellowman  this  Goodspell  now 
,         .      written  Goapel.     This  mode  of     doing  right  will     bring 
"j.easo  on  earth  and  good  will  to  men." 

Does  the  world  want  peace?  Then  apply  this  law  of 
universal  love  and  obtain  it.  Let  us  all  be  decent  and  stop 
our  robbing  of  ourselves,  our  f  ellowman  as  well  as  Spirit, 
our  Infinite  parents,  who  is  the  God  that  we  all  worship. 
"We  can  only  do  this  by  using  this  approachment  in  our 
prayer,  Mother-Father,  for  this  is  the  only  name  that  can 
save.  Spirit  requests  that  they  be  addressed  thus,  by 
their  children.  Can  we  not  be  humble  enough  to  comply 
to  their  request  as  Christ  Jesus  taught  in  those  three 
years  of  his  teaching,  when  he  spoke  as  never  man  spoke  ? 
This  is  the  solution  of  our  problem. 

It  is  an  individual  question  and  each  Individual  must 
know  that  name,  Mother-Father,  for  it  is  written  "every 
knee  shall  bow  and  every  tongue  shall  confess  my  name 
and  my  name  is  Mother-Father.  "  "I  will  set  him  on  high 
because  he  hath  known  my  name."  Psalms  91,  verse  14 
(last  half).  Christ  Jesus  did  know  "my  name",  hence 
he  is  set  on  high,  for  we  all  honor  him,  but  we  will  be 
shown  how  to  go  and  how  to  work  in  this  matter,  for  it 
must  be  done  as  our  Mother-Father  wills. 

We  are  yours  truly  for  the  peace  of  the  entire  world.

PSYCHOLOGY  AS  TAUGHT  BY  CHRIST  JESUS. 

THE  ONE  MIND  ;  ..  .  :  .,  . 

By  DR.  j.  j.  SHA^]£R;  ''   ..•.,!,$.'.! 

should  be  careful  and  not 'pray  amiss.  Mind 
leads.  Mind  is  the  comforter  and  when  Spirit  is 
thus  addressed  does  lead  into  all  of  Truth.  There- 
fore we  have  given  his  prayer  as  recorded  by  John  in  the 
17th  chapter,  as  given  by  mind;  any  one  that  will  read 
this  chapter  has  the  same  Mind  that  is  in  the  Christ  Jesus 
Spirit  when  that  person  was  in  the  flesh.  That  person's 
Mind  is  still  true  to  the  sentiments  expressed,  as  thus 
rendered  we  hold  the  pencil,  therefore  since  there  is  only 
one  Mind  like  the  Mind  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  since 
this  Mind  controls  all  flesh,  we  have  no  fear  of  any  one 
trying  to  find  fault  with  the  print  that  we  offer  to  the 
world.  John,  in  the  last  words  of  Revelations,  prays 
that  this  Grace  be  with  all  of  us  his  brethern  and  we  join 
in  that  prayer  of  Christ  Jesus,  where  he  asks  Mother- 
Father  that  they  may  be  all  one,  as  I  am  one  with  thee  or 
them,  Spirit  is  one,  yet  Spirit's  name  is  Mother-Father. 
Hence  this  grammar  may  be  in  correct  for  a  time,  but 
patience  worketh  holiness  and  all  of  us  shall  know  his 
or  their  name  even  from  the  least  to  the  greatest.  The 
name  of  this  great  metaphysician  or  psychologist  is  writ- 
ten everywhere.  But  my  name  or  His  name,  Mother-Fath- 
er, shall  be  written  in  the  secret  places  where  we,  as  chil- 
dren must  dwell.  Psalm  91,  That  is  in  the  hearts  of  their 
children,  for  we  do  dwell  in  them,  for  we  have  been  and 
always  will  be  with  Spirit.  Spirit  being  everywhere  we 
are  always  with  them,  they  being  unseen  to  us,  but  we 
can  know  that  they  are  present.  Our  finite  Mother  and 
Father  may  be  absent,  but  not  so  with  our  Infinite  Moth- 
er-Father. Since  they  are  Infinite  they  are  always  pres- 
ent. We  can  find  them  by  saying  or  thinking  Mother- 
Father.  Three  times  Mother-Father,  Mother-Father, 
Mother-Father. 

Just  as  a  little  child  cries     for  its  finite     Mother     or 
Father  so  we  must  cry  for  our  Infinite  Mother-Father, 

3 


not  as  two,  but  as  one,  for  they  are  one  inseperable  whole, 
Mi'.c^'-they-aye  dual,  .yet  bounded  by  Truth,  of  which  we 
are  if  part,  :th'.Mv!"«>v<-  we  are  with  the  Trinity  and  are  the 
!h«'  f oriscicuce  that  binds  the  super-conscience 
to  the  subcojisca-nc,',  Ihus  combining  the  three  great  In- 
finites in  one  whole,  or  one  Great  Infinite.  Therefore 
we  use  the  Great  Infinite  super-conscience  as  the  univer- 
sal conscience  of  man,  for  man  does  dwell  in  this  Great 
Infinite  Spirit  which  rules  mankind  as  well  as  all  other 
creatures  that  Infinite  Spirit  Intelligence,  the  one  only, 
the  one  true  God,  of  whom  we  are  the  offspring,  not  we 
only,  but  this  law  of  Love  applies  to  the  entire  universe. 
Hence  the  true  and  only  way  to  pray  is  to  pray  as  Christ 
always  desire  good,  never  evil,  always  the  other  fellow  as 
Jesus  did,  "in  Spirit  and  in  Truth."  Thus  praying  we 
knowing  that  we  will  be  taken  care  of  and  our  prayers 
for  the  other  fellow  will  be  answered  when  we  pray  or 
say  Mother-Father.  In  praying  thus  we  cannot  hate  lust 
nor  be  angry  for  then  we  are  not  in  the  secret  places  of 
the  most  high.  Thus  we  find  that  to  pray  aright  we  enter 
our  closet  and  shut  our  door  by  simply  saying  or  think- 
ing Mother-Father. 

We  always  think  Mother-Father  unless  we  are  teaching 
some  one  the  way,  which  is  preaching  the  gospel.  This 
has  been  explained  in  the  Character  Builder.  Scientific 
Christianity  is  simply  demonstrating  and  living  the  life  of 
Christ;  trying  or  desiring  to  do  this  is  followed  by  the 
cry  within,  of  Mother-Father.  Paul,  or  Saul  as  he  was 
then  known,  asked  who  art  thou,  Lord,  that  I  should 
obey?  Then  we  have  as  a  result  Romans  8-15,  as  well  as 
Galatians  4-6.  In  John  we  have,  perfect  love  casteth  out 
fear  also,  he  that  hath  this  hope  in  him  purifieth  himself 
as  he  is  pure ;  also  that  grace  that  he  speaks  of  in  the  last 
chapter  of  Revelations.  Jude  sums  it  up  in  Jude  3,  as 
Faith  that  was  given  unto  those  that  were  sent  or  the  sev- 
enty, the  five  hundred  as  well  as  many  others,  for  this 
phrase  was  sown  broadcast  by  Jesus  and  the  twelve,  and 
all  were  taught  to  talk  it.  All  those  that  talked  it  reaped 
great  benefit  and  so  it  is  today  that  all  can  reap  great 

4 


benefit,  for  the  fields  are  white  for  the  harvest  as  it  was 
then. 

"Except  ye  hate  Mother,  Sister,  Brother,  all  blood  re- 
lations, ye  cannot  be  my  disciples, ' '  for  you  must  become 
as  the  little  child,  and  this  Great  Truth  will  free  you,  for 
Mother-Father  is  this  great  Truth  and  it  will  lead,  or 
teach  us  all  things  that  it  is  important  for  us  to  know. 
Therefore  we  must  deny  ourselves  from  all  wrong  doing, 
do  right,  countenance  no  wrong  or  evil,  let  our  light  shine 
so  that  the  world  will  see  that  we  too  have  been  with  the 
Master  or  that  great  mind  Mother-Father,  the  one  princi- 
ple that  we  should  stand  for,  that  we  too  are  sons  of  God, 
but  above  all,  teach  others  this  grand  Truth  that  all  man- 
kind belong  to  that  one  family,  and  that  this  gospel  should 
reign  in  every  heart. 

He  that  is  without  sin  let  him  cast  the  first  stone.  As 
we  walk  in  the  way,  or  as  we  work  for  the  Master,  or 
carry  or  bear  his  burden,  we  become  spiritual,  we  reflect 
love  in  the  way  as  we  bear  Mother-Father,  thus  we  too 
become  way  showers,  for  we  are  letting  our  light  shine 
and  the  beauty  of  it  is  the  world  sees  it  in  our  face  which 
begins  to  assume  the  shape  of  the  moon.  Now  the  word 
moon  is  sin  translated  so  Christ  Jesus  could  exclaim,  he 
that  is  without  the  reflection  of  love  let  him  cast  the  first 
stone,  there  was  not  one  of  these  but  what  had  obtained 
the  living  water  from  Christ  Jesus,  hence  all  showed  in 
their  face  that  full  orb  of  the  risen  Christ ;  therefore  we 
say,  let  him  that  is  without  moon  cast  the  first  stone. 
None  of  these  had  the  temerity  to  do  so,  nor  did  Christ 
Jesus  do  so ;  therefore  this  woman  went  away  condemned 
not.  Had  she  had  the  teachings  of  Christ  Jesus  as  given 
in  Mark  14-36,  she  would  not  have  been  caught  in  such  an 
act  so  Christ  Jesus  said  in  effect,  do  not  moon  in  this 
manner  any  more,  that  is,  do  not  love  promiscuous  but  if 
necessary  marry  a  good  man. 

His  teachings  were  of  and  for  the  good  of  all,  not  for 
the  few.  He  recognized  that  there  is  no  need  of  want 
and  that  all  had  a  right  to  Life  liberty,  as  well  as  the  pur- 
suit of  Happiness.  There  is  plenty  to  go  around,  for  all 

5 


that  any  one  gets  is  just  what  they  can  use,  or  eat  and 
wear.  This  is  pure  metaphysics,  and  is  intended  for  all, 
for  it  puts  every  man  on  an  equal  footing.  We  are  the 
brother  of  many  brothers  for  we  too  are  a  son  of  God. 
Yet  as  a  little  child  we  are  holding  the  pencil  for  this 
book.  Thus  we  see  this  broad  mind  that  is  developed  by 
that  Mind,  that  is  in  those  that  exhibit  the  Christ  Spirit 
or  Love  one  another  as  Christ  Jesus  taught  develops  a 
broad  face.  We  need  not  try  to  hide  it,  but  we  must  let 
it  shine  so  that  others  may  see  it,  that  we  may  have  an  op- 
portunity to  tell  the  glad  news,  that  the  Christ  reigns. 
We  need  not  delay  for  the  command  is  "be  ye  always 
ready  for  what  simply  to  teach  my  burden  Mother-Father, 
for  this  is  the  pure  Gospel  or  Good  Spell  of  Christ  Jesus." 

If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  you  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain,  be  ye  removed  hence,  and  it  shall 
be  done  for  you.  To  be  plain,  suppose  you  meet  a  friend 
in  the  street,  he  has  a  claim  which  is  a  mountain  to  him 
as  well  as  you,  but  he  says,  I  know  that  you  can  help  me. 
I  wish  to  sign  a  card  with  some  one.  I  wish  to  quit  drink- 
ing. You  give  him  a  card.  He  writes  his  name  and  ad- 
dress on  this  card,  and  leaves  it  with  you.  This  man  is 
not  healed  for  he  depends  upon  the  card.  You  see  him 
as  we  have  done  about  a  year  afterwards,  under  the  in- 
fluence of  liquor.  You  pass  him  and  wait  for  another  op- 
portunity. This  opportunity  comes  and  you  do  as  we  did, 
give  him  Mother-Father,  explaining  that  we  are  brothers 
and  that  all  mankind  are  sons  of  Spirit.  Therefore  should 
call  Spirit,  Mother-Father,  as  well  as  tell  him  that  it  is 
their  good  pleasure  to  give  us  all  the  Kingdom.  Thus  we 
teach  our  fellowman  to  do  right,  for  this  teaching  is  just 
the  way  the  master  taught,  he  being  the  greatest  teacher 
that  history  records,  for  he  had  Spirit  without  measure. 
He  is  the  one  for  us  to  follow  and  to  follow  him  is  to  bear 
his  burden,  which  is  Mother-Father.  The  Character  Build- 
er explains  what  is  a  mustard  seed  as  well  as  the  scienti- 
fic parts  of  the  same. 

"And  these  signs  shall  follow  them,  that  believe  in  my 
name  shall  they  cast  out  devils,  they  shall  speak  with  new 


tongues."  Those  that  use  Mother-Father  have  this  gift, 
for  they  have  all  their  desires  fulfilled.  All  those  that 
we  desire  to  be  benefited  have  it  done  unto  them,  hence 
we  desire  good  for  all  and  all  are  benefited  that  see  us. 
Evil  Mind  is  eliminated,  for  there  is  truly  from  a  psycho- 
logical sense,  only  one  error,  this  begins  with  conception 
in  many.  This  is  anger.  How  can  we  overcome  this  great 
error  ?  Simply  by  using  Mother-Father  as  directed  in  the 
Character  Builder.  Hence  the  importance  of  this  work  to 
the  rising  generation,  therefore  we  wish  it  in  our  schools 
where  our  young  people  can  get  it.  This  is  the  way  to  re- 
move our  political  mountains  of  all  kinds,  such  as  politi- 
cal economy.  Economics  and  all  that  man  has  to  over- 
come in  the  way  of  living  such  as  the  high  cost  of  living. 
This  great  evil  vanishes  before  this  great  thought  Mother- 
Father.  Christ  Jesus  exclaimed,  ye  are  whitened  sepul- 
chers  full  of  dead  men's  bones.  This  is  a  true  description  of 
the  condition  of  man  as  in  the  flesh,  for  even  the  blood  is 
in  that  firey  state  and  is  at  war  the  white  blood  corpuscles 
eating  up  the  red.  This  is  known  to  the  biologist,  for  this 
condition  has  been  photographed  and  has  been  exhibited 
as  a  scientific  material  fact.  The  Christ  Spirit  has  con- 
trol of  all  flesh,  but  does  not  go  where  it  is  not  invited. 
That  is  the  rule  to  do  unto  others  as  you  would  have  oth- 
ers do  unto  you.  Hence  it  is  our  duty  to  give  when  we  see 
that  the  person  hath  need  and  that  without  money  and 
without  price.  Therefore  the  way  is  Mother-Father. 
Hence  the  key  to  his  teachings  is  Mother-Father,  which 
gives  us  eternal  life.  John  17-3 :  this  is  sufficient  for  all 
adherents  of  Truth  and  can  be  proven  by  the  way-bearer, 
for  this  knowledge  does  bring  rest  for  the  soul  as  well  as 
for  the  body. 

Christ  Jesus  is  the  greatest  of  all  physiologists  that 
ever  taught  man,  for  he  spoke  as  never  man  spoke.  The 
great  physiologist  or  great  teacher  of  mind  always  ac- 
knowledged that  Spirit  was  and  is  his  parents,  hence  his 
Mother-Father.  This  little  act  of  love  gave  him  access 
to  all  intelligence ;  hence  he  used  this  key  to  the  Kingdom 
to  accomplish  all  of  his  desires  and  the  whole  world 

7 


knows  the  results.  He  thus  became  the  greatest  mind 
reader  that  the  world  has  ever  known.  He  was  always  a 
gentle  man  in  his  material  home  and  one  of  the  first  water 
in  his  true  home,  where  he  was  mannerly  to  the  house 
keeper,  his  Infinite  Mother,  as  well  as  to  his  Infinite  Fath- 
er, but  always  approached  the  super-conscience  first,  he 
being  conscience  and  his  Father,  the  sub-conscience.  Yet 
who  can  differentiate.  He  being  from  love,  love  is  always 
first.  Hence  as  a  metaphysician  he  always  puts  Mother 
first ;  therefore  by  this  little  act  of  right  doing  he  gained 
great  influence  at  the  throne  of  grace,  for  Mother-Father 
is  his  grace  and  through  this  phrase  he  did  all  his  healing. 
This  simple  language  of  the  little  child — Mother-Father 
gave  him  the  Kingdom  as  well  as  a  perfect  birth-right. 
This  he  did  not  try  to  conceal,  but  did  let  his  light  shine, 
telling  all  that  they  too  could  overcome  the  world,  for  he 
had  done  this  to  show  them  how  and  they  too  being  sons 
of  Spirit  they  had  a  perfect  birth-right  and  could  do  all 
things  in  my  name,  which  is  Mother-Father.  This  is  all 
of  metaphysics  as  well  as  psychology.  The  world  should 
know  this,  for  it  is  pure  Christianity,  primitive  in  form; 
hence  it  includes  all  orders,  sects,  factions,  denominations, 
in  fact  the  entire  world,  for  we  are  all  of  us  brothers  of 
that  great  order  of  the  Brotherhood  of  Man,  our  elder 
being  Christ  Jesus,  and  our  parents,  Mother-Father.  This 
new  tongue  is  to  talk  Mother-Father.  This  is  the  entire 
truth  which  is  needed  by  the  world;  then  let  every  one 
teach,  as  well  as  talk  Mother-Father. 

All  learned  physicians  recognize  man  as  a  cannibal 
when  in  the  state  of  fever,  this  a  mild  way  of  saying  in  a 
state  of  Hell.  This  is  true  for  the  individual  and  many 
have  experienced  this  state.  Now  a  state  of  mind  can  be 
changed.  There  is  nothing  that  will  equal  the  antidote 
given  by  Christ  Jesus  to  Peter 's  wife 's  mother  for  fever ; 
that  antidote  is  Mother-Father.  This  medicine  chest  is  the 
Infinite  Mind.  This  is  the  true  method  of  healing  and  will 
remove  all  our  troubles.  Is  there  trouble,  take  it  to  Spirit 
Mother-Father  is  their  name  and  through  this  name  all 
evil  is  cast  out,  even  seven  from  one  woman  by  the  master. 

8 


So  this  woman  had  seven  states  of  mind;  hence  she  had 
seven  states  of  Hell  or  seven  devils,  evils  which  were  all 
overcome  by  that  one  grand  state  of  Mind  that  is  pro- 
duced by  being  decent,  that  is  saying  Mother-Father. 

Friends,  we  could  continue  this  conversation  for  many 
pages  more,  but  this  is  enough  for  a  pamphlet  which  we 
started  to  write. 

Fear  is  a  state  of  mind  and  can  be  eradicated  by  this 
simple  child  phrase,  Mother-Father,  for  Spirit  is  ever 
present  with  their  offspring  and  always  ready  to  give 
each  one  the  victory,  but  it  is  an  individual  problem. 
Hence  it  is  the  one  great  problem  of  mankind.  Eliminate 
fear  and  we  have  won  the  first  victory. 

After  this  all  things  are  done  for  us,  but  we  still  have 
our  material  work  to  do  for  the  great  I  am  that  I  am.  At 
their  requests  we  do  much  work,  go  to  many  places  for 
them  at  their  command,  never  refusing  any  work  that 
they  wish  us  to  do.  This  varies  from  day  to  day,  some- 
times it  is  one  that  has  the  disease  that  whiskey  produces, 
languor  of  the  worst  type,  for  whiskey  first  produces  an 
exhiliration  effect,  or  state.  A  state  of  happiness.  Then 
this  -reaches  its  climax  of  highest  state.  We  have  this 
highest  state  followed  by  a  state  of  depression  or  drousi- 
ness.  This  is  one  .  of  the  chief  diagnostics  of  fever 
and  also  it  is  the  chief  characteristic  of  all  drugs,  for  all 
contain  alcohol  which  is  the  chief  ingredient  of  liquors 
of  all  kinds.  All  drugs  act  similar.  This  is  the 
result  of  getting  angry,  a  rise  in  temperature 
followed  by  a  fall  of  temperature  or  depression. 
Hence  this  whiskey  disease  can  and  should  be  treated 
just  as  anger  is  treated.  The  best  system  to  treat  an- 
ger is  the  Christian  system  properly  applied,  but  we  can- 
not stop  with  only  half  of  the  Truth.  Now  half  of  the 
Truth  is  Abba-Father.  Mark  14-36,  to  complete  this  we 
have  translated  Abba  as  it  should  be,  into  Mother.  There- 
fore we  have  Mother-Father.  Now  since  fever  is  present 
in  some  form  it  follows  that  all  of  our  troubles  come  from 
anger.  Hence  Christ  Jesus  taught  that  anger  is  an  old 
liar,  Satan,  the  old  serpent,  that  mutual  picture  that  ap- 
pears to  so  many,  yet  it  is  not  necessary.  The  moon,  or 

9 


as  the  Bible  has  it,  is  the  facial  picture  that  is  on  the  face 
of  man  after  this  one  mind  has  given  or  made  the  person 
even  partially  free. 

Christ  Jesus  had  no  double  standard,  one  for  men  and 
another  for  women.  Mother-Father  accepts  no  double 
standard  from  any  one.  They  are  the  Christ  Spirit  and 
rule  all  flesh,  even  Christ  Jesus  was  ruled  by  this  one 
Spirit  or  Mind,  for  he  is  the  first  of  many  brethren  that 
great  family  of  Good,  hence  Christ  Jesus  is  Good,  but 
Good  has  two  ways  to  be  spelled ;  first  Good  or  good,  and 
then  God.  Therefore  we  can  worship  Christ  Jesus  as  God, 
but  does  that  benefit  any  one,  not  one  whit  does  it,  and  it 
is  simply  a  play  on  the  word  good,  for  he  said  there  is 
none  good,  but  Spirit,  for  the  flesh  is  of  no  profit.  That 
is  the  flesh  is  only  temporal,  yet  this  flesh  was  important 
from  the  Greek  standpoint,  for  they  came  to  the  disciples 
asking  to  see  Jesus.  That  is,  they  wished  to  know  the 
Christ,  for  Jesus  is  the  anointed  or  * '  God  with  us. ' '  Thus 
we  see  that  the  Christ  Spirit  is  no  longer,  even  knowing ; 
for  knowing  is  knowledge.  We  must  move  forward;  we 
must  understand  Spirit  to  have  eternal  life.  This  under- 
standing is  gained  only  through  obedience  and  this,  obe- 
dience is  gained  by  following  Christ  Jesus  accurately.  He 
was  very  obedient  to  Spirit  for  they. are  his  parents  and 
he  delighted  to  call  them  Mother-Father,  he  receiving 
great  joy  for  doing  this  little  act  of  kindness  and  saying 
these  little  words  of  love. 

What  is  more  expressive  of  love  than  Mother-Father  of 
loving  kindness?  Thus  we  grow  out  of  belief  into  the 
real  thing.  Into  the  real  life  of  that  Infinite  home  of 
Christ  Jesus,  where  we  live  even  in  the  flesh,  and  as  we 
do  right  and  walk  in  that  straight  and  narrow  way,  we 
gain  Spirit  for  they  do  anoint  us  with  loving  kindness. 
Hence  all  evil  flees,  or  vanishes;  that  is  Joy  becomes  so 
great  and  real  that  there  is  no  place  for  anything  but 
good.  Thus  only  good  Mind  exists  and  that  Mind  is  the 
Christ  Mind;  hence  Christianity  ceases  to  be  any  longer 
a  belief  but  is  the  true  understanding  of  that  "one  true 
God  and  Jesus  Christ  whom  thou  hast  sent.  This  is  the 

10 


true  life  and  the  only  way  that  we  can  go  to  our  fellow- 
man  with  the  Gospel.  Hence  Christ  Jesus  could  cry,  I 
am  the  way,  the  life,  and  the  truth.  We  can  all  do  this, 
even  from  the  least  to  the  greatest.  Then  we  will  not 
have  to  invite  people  to  attend  church,  but  have  to  think 
how  we  are  going  to  seat  them  when  we  open  the  doors. 
See  them  crowding  in  to  hear  what  the  Good  Shepherd  has 
to  say  about  Mother-Father.  They  may  forget  God,  but 
they  will  never  forget  the  Good  Spirit,  the  one  altogether 
lovely,  who  is  Mother-Father.  Then  shall  they  know  me 
from  the  least  unto  the  greatest.  It  is  no  longer  guess 
work,  it  is  the  real  thing  eternal  life,  joy  forevermore. 
Then  we  know  the  Mother-Father  as  well  as  the  son.  This 
son  we  know  as  ourself,  for  we  love  him  as  ourself.  We 
cannot  know  until  we  have  seen  or  felt.  We  may  see  the 
son,  but  only  the  finite,  or  in  a  finite,  small  way,  for  Truth 
is  real  as  well  as  Infinite ;  hence  we  can  see  the  Father  in 
a  small  way,  for  He  too  is  Infinite.  But  oh !  the  Mother ! 
How  can  we  know  her?  Simply  by  giving  a  cup  of  cold 
water  in  his  or  their  name,  which  is  saying  Mother-Fath- 
er to  some  one.  This  is  the  Infinite  love  that  all  Chris- 
tians do.  Light  in  this  great  principle  is  truly  workable 
and  does  lead  into  all  Truth.  Hence  Christ  Jesus  valued 
it  as  the  pearl  of  great  price.  Some  have  sought  for  this 
and  found  it  not,  but  there  it  is  in  that  grand  old  book, 
the  Bible,  Mark  14-36,  in  the  shape  of  Abba-Father,  or 
properly  rendered  it  is  Mother-Father.  Thus  we  seek, 
thus  we  ask,  thus  we  knock,  always  using  Mother-Father, 
the  good  old  way,  the  only  way,  the  way  that  gives  us  our 
perfect  birth-right,  the  title  of  being  the  son  of  Being, 
the  Good  Being,  the  only  True  Being,  hence  the  only 
Spirit.

THE  GREAT  LAW  OF  HEALTH. 
difference  between  the  mortal  mind  and  the 
immortal  mind 'is  that  the  offspring  of  spirit  that 
knows  the  one  true  God  and  Jesus. Christ  whom 
thou  hast  sent  is  immortal,  the  one  that  does  not  know 
this  great  fact  in  Science  is  mortal. 

The  way  that  we  know  the  only  true  God  is  to  bear 
Christ  Jesus'  burden.  This  burden  is  that  Christ  Jesus 
mission,  is  that  Spirit,  the  only  true  God  and  our  parents' 
wishes  to  be  called  by  their  children  Mother-Father.  For 
this  little  act  of  love  Christ  Jesus  has  been  exalted  by 
Mother-Father  through  man  whom  Mother-Father,  Spirit 
controls.  Spirit  see  us,  feeds  us,  leads  us,  teases  us,  gives 
us  joy,  takes  care  of  us,  causes  us  to  do  many  things 
provided  we  are  of  a  willing  mind.  To  know  them  we 
must  act  the  little  child.  Say  Mother-Father,  thus  be- 
coming as  the  little  one  that  he  set  in  the  midst  of  the 
disciples. 

This  is  the  primary  truth,  but  we  must  put  this  great 
truth  into  action  or  we  will  not  win  the  glory  that  the 
Master  won.  This  truth  must  be  lived,  for  we  may  have 
great*  faith  yet  not  be  in  harmony  with  the  Master,  for 
faith  without  works  is  not  good,  for  faith  saves,  but  we 
are  saved  by  faith  through  works.  We  thus  let  our 
light  shine  which  we  are  commanded  to  do.  Hence  to 
work  is  a  corollary  to  the  law  of  love,  which  is  written 
Mother-Father.  Hence  we  find  that  many  of  our  friends 
did  not  know  that  spirit  is  their  parents  until  we  began 
to  write  the  Character  Builder.  Yet  those  very  persons 
had  given  us  the  means  whereby  we  have  been  able  to 
preach  unto  those  that  have  passed  on  before.  Thus  we 
develop  mind  or  Spirit  whereby  even  those  that 
have  passed  on  before  know  Mother-Father.  This 
is  not  new,  for  Christ  Jesus  did  the  same,  thus 
gathering  around  him  such  as  Moses  and  the  other 
prophets  as  well  as  many  of  the  prominent  as 

12 


well  as  the  lesser  lights  of  the  past  ages  that  had  lived 
and  did  not  know  that  Spirit  is  God  or  that  Spirit  is 
man's  parents.  Science  was  not  developed  in  the  minds 
of  the  average  man  until  the  beginning  of  the  year  30. 
Then  the  Christ  anointed  Jesus,  who  had  been  promised 
by  I  am  that  I  am,  in  years  past  for  the  Christ  Spirit  has 
always  been  in  the  world.  This  spirit  was  given  to  Jesus 
without  measure  or  stint.  Jesus  was  high  born,  but  still 
of  humble  origin.  Spirit  displayed  itself  in  a  remarkable 
manner  at  his  birth,  attending  to  his  wants  through 
Moses.  Vessels  were  sent  many  miles  to  visit  him.  The 
gifts  he  received  were  many  and  valuable,  but  were  real 
hence  not  material.  One  of  these  gifts  was  love  from  the 
Eternal  Father  without  measure,  whose  all-seeing  eye 
was  ever  with  him  to  see  that  he  was  always  correct. 
Then  this  Infinite  Mother-Father  had  their  servants, 
Mary  and  Joseph  always  on  hand,  who  were  faithful  to 
the  end,  both  of  whom  were  well  repaid  for  these  little 
deeds  of  kindness  and  little  words  of  love,  for  they  not 
only  knew  how  to  say  Mother-Father  but  knew  how 
to  act  it  to  this  half  orphan  of  the  flesh.  The  child  was 
taken  to  Egypt,  but  Mary  went  with  him,  for  she  was 
the  only  property  that  he  had.  Her  body  was  called  the 
goat  by  Isaias  and  her  mammary  glands  sheep. 
This  is  all  the  property  that  Christ  Jesus  had  save  his 
own  person  and  a  few  clothes  that  he  wore,  yet  his  robes 
were  of  purple  and  fine  linen,  for  they  were  robes  of 
righteousness.  These  had  been  gained  by  thirty  years 
of  struggle  with  material  life. 

The  fear  of  the  trouble  coming  back  or  the  disease  of 
long  standing  returning  is  completely  healed  by  the 
method  of  the  Christ  healing.  Our  elder  brother,  Jesus 
Christ  used  this  method  and  succeeded  in  all  of  his  dem- 
onstrations, for  he  asked  in  the  scientific  manner.  Hence 
his  method  is  scientific.  By  the  use  of  this  method  we 
can  do  the  work  of  the  Master  if  we  follow  him  in  right 
doing.  Hence  right  doing  is  the  only  Christianity  that 
is  worth  considering.  Therefore  the  Christ  healing  as 
done  by  Christ  Jesus  is  the  only  scientific  method,  for 

13 


it  is  the  only  accurate  method  of  healing.  All  other 
methods  are  without  a  foundation.  They  have  no  sci- 
entific basis  on  which  to  stand.  In  other  words  they  are 
man  made  doctrines,  hence  are  built  on  sand  or  matter, 
therefore  will  fall.  Religion  to  be  worth  anything  must 
be  true,  therefore  it  must  be  accurate.  But  to  be  ac- 
curate we  must  be  scientific,  and  to  be  scientific  is  to  be  a 
true  follower  of  the  Master,  our  Lord,  of  His  Righteous- 
ness. 

Science  and  Health  with  the  Key  to  the  Scriptures  by 
Mrs.  Mary  Baker  Eddy,  page  494-19-24,  "the  unbroken 
reality  of  scientific  being"  is  sufficient  for  our  little  say. 
Abba-Atta  is  that  unbroken  reality,  for  with  this  unbrok- 
en reality  we  conquer  all,  for  Spirit  is  all  and  all.  We  get 
this  unbroken  reality  from  Mark  14-36,  where  Abba-Atta 
stands  for  those  Infinite  persons  whom  Christ  Jesus 
talked  to  as  we  find  in  the  17th  chapter  of  John,  where 
Abba  has  been  eliminated  six  times,  this  is  the  greatest 
piece  of  literature  that  has  ever  been  written  and  should 
be  restored  to  its  original  shape  or  form.  The  great  teach- 
er who  is  the  real  author  of  this  chapter,  is  also  the  au- 
thor of  the  36th  verse  of  the  fourteenth  chapter  of  Mark, 
for  they  were  uttered  at  the  same  time  and  place,  but 
were  written  or  taken  down  by  the  disciples  Mark  and 
John.  Mark's  should  read:  And  he  (Christ  Jesus)  said 
Mother-Father,  or,  in  the  true  phonetic,  Abba-Atta,  all 
things  are  possible  unto  thee;  take  away  this  task  from 
me ;  nevertheless  not  what  I  will,  but  what  thou  wilt ;  but 
John,  in  the  original,  gives  an  entire  conversation  of  this 
family  affair,  for  Christ  Jesus  is  with  that  Infinite  Being, 
whom  the  Christ  addresses  as  Abba-Atta,  this  is  that  say- 
ing that  he  taught  his  disciples  to  keep,  in  the  following 
words:  Verily,  verily,  verily,  he  that  keepeth  my  saying 
(Abba-Atta,  or  Mother-Father),  shall  never  see  death, 
therefore  Mother-Father,  or  that  phrase  in  any  language 
that  means  those  Infinite  parents,  is  the  true  healing 
phrase,  hence  Christ  Jesus  promise  is  true  that  if  we  obey 
him,  or  do  what  he  has  commanded,  we  should  not  only 
do  the  works  that  he  had  done,  but  even  greater  works, 

14 


so  we  find  that  he  talks  to  Abha-Atta  about  these  things, 
yet  before  doing  this  he  says  to  his  disciples  to  be  of  good 
cheer ;  I  have  overcome  the  world,  therefore  we  can  over- 
come the  world  by  doing  as  he  did,  saying  simply  our  lit- 
tle piece  as  a  little  child,  Mother-Father.  Thus  "these 
words  spoke  Jesus,  and  lifted  up  his  eyes  to  Heaven  and 
said,  Mother-Father,  the  hour  is  come;  glorify  thy  son, 
that  thy  son  also  may  glorify  thee.  As  thou  hast  given 
him  power  over  all  flesh,  that  he  should  give  eternal  life 
to  as  many  as  thou  hast  given  him. 

I  have  glorified  thee  on  earth ;  I  have  finished  the  work 
which  thou  gavest  me  to  do,  and  now  Mother-Father  glo- 
rify thou  me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which  I 
had  with  thee  before  the  world  was. 

I  have  manifested  Mother-Father  unto  the  men,  which 
thou  gavest  me  out  of  the  world:  thine  they  were,  and 
thou  gavest  them  me  and  they  have  kept  thy  word. 

Now  they  have  known  that  all  things  whatsoever  thou 
hast  given  me  are  of  thee. 

For  I  have  given  unto  them  Mother^Father,  which  thou 
gavest  me,  and  they  have  received  them  and  have  known 
surely  that  I  come  out  from  thee  and  they  have  believed 
that  thou  did'st  send  me. 

I  pray  for  them ;  I  pray  not  for  the  world,  but  for  them 
which  thou  hast  given  me ;  for  they  are  thine  and  all  mine 
are  thine  and  thine  are  mine ;  and  I  am  glorified  in  them 
(for  they  are  my  disciples  since  they  say  Mother-Father) 
and  now  I  am  no  more  in  the  world ;  but  there  are  in  the 
world,  and  I  come  to  thee.  Mother-Father,  keep  through 
thine  own  name  (Mother-Father),  those  whom  thou  hast 
given  me,  that  they  may  be  one  as  we  are.  While  I  was 
with  them  in  the  world  I  kept  them  in  thy  name,  those 
that  thou  gavest  me  I  have  kept  and  none  of  them  is  lost, 
but  the  son  of  prediction  that  the  scriptures  might  be  ful- 
filled ;  and  now  I  come  to  thee,  and  these  things  I  speak 
in  the  world  that  they  might  have  my  joy  fulfilled  in 
themselves.  I  have  given  them  thy  word  (Mother-Father) 
and  the  world  hath  hated  them  because  they  are  not  of  the 
world  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world  (therefore  acting 

15 


the  little  child  by  saying  Mother-Father  does  produce 
Heaven  or  Harmony).  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldst 
take  them  out  of  the  world,  but  that  thou  shouldst  keep 
them  from  the  evil  (state)  (Hell  is  a  state  just  as  Heaven 
is  a  state).  They  are  not  of  the  world  even  as  I  am  not 
of  the  world.  Sanctify  them  through  thy  truth,  Mother- 
Father  is  thy  Truth,  or  thy  name  is  Mother-Father.  As 
thou  hast  sent  me  into  the  world,  even  so  have  I  sent  them 
into  the  world,  twelve  at  one  time,  seventy  at  another 
time,  and  five  hundred  at  another  time,  four  thousand, 
also  five  thousand,  besides  women  and  children,  then  we 
can  add  the  ten  lepers  as  well  as  many  individuals ;  all  to 
bear  the  burden,  or  the  phrase  Mother-Father;  all  to  do 
little  words  of  love,  and  for  their  sakes  I  sanctify  myself 
that  they  also  might  be  sanctified  through  the  Truth, 
Mother-Father,  the  only  Truth  that  can  produce  that  real 
Harmony  that  is  Heaven. 

Neither  pray  I  for  these  alone  (that  is  Mother-Father, 
my  desire  is  that  all  of  these  that  I  have  sent  forth  to 
fish  for  men  may  be  successful),  but  for  them  also  which 
shall  believe  on  me  (that  I  was  sent  from  the  Mother- 
Father),  through  their  telling  that  it  is  thy  desire  that 
thy  children  call  thee  in  thy  home  Mother-Father,  for  we 
are  in  thy  house  and  we  are  thy  offspring,  therefore  we 
call  thee  Mother-Father  that  we  as  well  as  they  all  may  be 
one,  as  thou  Mother-Father  art  in  me  and  I  in  thee ;  that 
they  also  may  be  one  in  us;  that  the  world  may  believe 
that  thou  hast  sent  me  (all  are  sent  that  bear  Mother- 
Father)  and  the  glory  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have  given 
them  (that  is  I  have  showed  them  the  way;  I  have  talked 
Mother-Father,  I  have  become  as  a  little  child  in  thy  pres- 
ance  and  their  presence  that  they  may  be  one  even  as  we 
are  one :  I  in  them  and  thou  in  me,  that  they  may  be  made 
perfect  in  one  (thus  proving  that  Mother-Father  Truth 
is  the  perfect  love  that  John  speaks  of  in  another  chap- 
ter), and  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou  hast  sent 
me  and  hast  loved  them  as  thou  hast  loved  me.  Mother- 
Father  I  will  that  they  also,  whom  thou  hast  given  me 
be  with  me  where  I  am  that  they  may  behold  my  glory 

16 


which  thou  hast  given  me,  for  thou  lovest  me  before  the 
foundation  of  the  world.  Mother-Father  the  world  hath 
not  known  thee,  but  I  have  known  thee  and  these  have 
known  that  thou  hast  sent  me,  and  I  declare  unto  them 
thy  name  (Mother-Father)  and  will  declare  it  that  the 
love  wherewith  thou  hast  loved  me  may  be  in  them,  and  I 
in  them,  thus  we  all  become  one  family  as  we  progress  in 
knowledge  and  gain  the  understanding  that  our  creator 
is  Mother-Father,  and  as  we  cease  to  rob  them  of  that 
joy  that  they  desire  and  gain  by  being  called  Mother- 
Father  we  grow  in  wisdom,  get  knowledge,  but  above  all 
get  understanding  which  is  gained  by  working  this  prin- 
ciple, Mother-Father,  this  work  gains  for  those  that  know 
my  name,  which  is  Mother-Father,  the  promise:  "I  will 
be  with  them  in  trouble;  I  will  deliver  him  and  honor 
him,  with  long  life  will  I  satisfy  him  and  show  him  my 
salvation,"  this  is  from  the  last  part  of  Psalm  91.  We 
shall  continue  to  think  Mother-Father,  and  thus  demon- 
strate this  Psalm  as  well  as  many  of  the  thoughts  demon- 
strated by  Christ  Jesus,  but  it  is  the  Christ  Jesus  that  we 
must  obey  or  we  cannot  be  led  into  all  truth.  To  illus- 
trate, we  were  led  to  investigate  Abba-Atta,  which  has 
been  done,  we  were  led  to  correct  verse  two,  chapter  four, 
of  Malachi.  We  have  been  shown  many  favors  simply  by 
being  decent  and  not  robbing  Mother-Father  or  Spirit  of 
their  just  dues,  not  in  material  wealth,  for  they  own  all 
since  they  have  created  all,  but  by  simply  being  kind  to 
those  Infinite  parents  in  whose  home  we  live,  for  we  are 
of  the  Household  of  Faith,  but  Faith  is  that  grace  that 
was  given  unto  those  that  were  sent,  which  grace  Jude,  in 
his  third  verse  tells  us  that  we  should  earnestly  contend 
for  this  common  salvation,  or  faith  which  was  once  deliv- 
ered unto  those  that  were  sent,  but  above  all  is  the  third 
verse  of  the  third  chapter  of  first  John,  who  tells  us  that 
every  one  that  has  this  hope  in  them  should  purify  them- 
selves, even  as  the  Master  is  pure,  to  do  this  we  must 
cease  to  rob  that  Infinite  Spirit  of  the  pleasure  that  it 
gives  them  for  us,  their  children,  to  call  them  Mother- 
Father;  as  we  cease  in  this  robbery  we  will  cease  to  rob 

17 


ourselves  of  that  happiness  that  is  due  us  as  the  sons  of 
God  or  Good,  hence  Spirit,  for  we  live  and  move  and 
have  our  being  in  them ;  therefore  they  are  ever  present ; 
therefore  they  know  each  one  of  their  offspring  and  are 
always  ready  and  willing  to  give  us  the  kingdom  even  as 
Christ  Jesus  says  it  is  Mother-Father's  good  pleasure  to 
give  you  the  Kingdom,  which  is  a  state,  and  is  produced 
by  right  action,  just  as  Hell  is  produced  by  wrong  action. 
Then  let  us  stay  in  the  good  way  that  that  great  teacher 
Christ  Jesus  showed,  Mother-Father,  thus  having  one 
brotherhood  of  man,  one  family,  the  head  of  which  is  our 
Eternal  parents  who  respond  to  that  child-like  thought, 
Mother-Father,  but  which  stands  for  all  in  all  and  all, 
hence  this  thought  can  be  the  only  answer  to  the  problem 
in  that  Divine,  Infinite  Calculus  that  Mrs.  Mary  Baker 
Eddy  speaks  of  on  page  520,  14-15,  Science  and  Health 
with  Key  to  Scriptures. 

The  solution  of  this  problem  clears  up  that  problem  of 
the  fourth  dimension  that  has  been  puzzling  mathemati- 
cians for  many  years,  as  well  as  all  other  problems  that 
humanity  is  heir  to,  even  sin,  sickness,  disease,  as  well  as 
death,  thus  demonstrating  the  divinity  of  Christ,  and  the 
Immaculate  Conception  of  Jesus,  as  well  as  the  universal 
relationship  of  mankind,  causing  this  relationship  to  be 
founded  on  that  great  joined  stone,  or  that  philosopher's 
stone  that  we  have  spoken  about  in  our  writings,  thus 
barring  mankind  forever  from  claiming  relationship  with 
the  monkey.  Thus  we  see  the  end  of  the  Darwinian  the- 
ory that  of  the  science  of  protoplasm,  for  life  is  life  wher- 
ever found,  yet  it  is  so  Infinite  and  intimately  blended 
with  love  and  truth  that  we  cannot  differentiate  Life, 
yet  taken  as  a  whole  and  differentiated  as  a  mass  and  in- 
tegrated as  a  volume  we  find  it  summed  up  as  all  in  all 
and  all,  which  is  Infinite,  or  as  Mrs.  Mary  Baker  Eddy  ex- 
presses it,  Divine,  Infinite  Calculus,  or  as  expressed  in  the 
Character  Builder,  as  the  Divine,  Infinite  Calculus  of  Di- 
vine Infinite  Love,  of  which  we  are  the  offspring  and  are 
living  in  their  home,  hence  we  are  their  children;  there- 
for to  be  decent  it  behooves  us  to  call  them  Mother-Father,

as  our  elder  brother  did  whom  we  are  following,  even 
Christ  Jesus,  our  redeemer  or  teacher,  to  show  us  the  way 
to  clean  Spirit  or  God. 


A  FEW  THOUGHTS  ON  PIECE  OR  PEACE— WORK- 
ING WITH  PIECE  WE  GET  PEACE. 

HIS  is  March  5,  1914.  We  have  had  a  desire  since 
1853  to  help  to  do  and  have  always  lent  a  helping 
hand  to  those  that  we  saw  or  see  in  need ;  at  pres- 
ent we  see  a  great  need  to  help,  we  have  visited  an  army 
of  unemployed  in  San  Francisco  for  five  days  in  succes- 
sion, but  the  last  day  we  did  not  find  them.  They  had 
crossed  the  bay,  over  to  Emeryville.  We  followed  them. 
We  find  that  this  is  one  way  to  study  economics;  look 
into  the  homes  of  the  unemployed. 

Oakland,  that  beautiful  city  across  the  bay,  did  not 
wish  this  bunch  of  people,  since  they  were  not  profitable 
to  their  trade.  They  had  but  little  money,  hence  from 
the  economic  standpoint  they  could  only  consume  and 
not  produce.  That  city  is  generous,  but  she  turned  these 
people  from  the  main  highway  to  the  east  and  would  not 
allow  them  to  pass  through  their  city.  This  is  economics 
from  Oakland's  standpoint.  But  what  about  our  inter- 
state commission  ?  We  see  that  there  is  room  here  for  the 
city  of  Oakland  to  get  into  trouble  with  the  general  Gov- 
ernment. 

What  is  the  remedy  for  such  cases?  Education  in  eco- 
nomics. This  must  be  true  education,  hence  it  involves 
Character  Building.  Educated  in  this  line  we  know  just 
how  to  live  and  give  other  people  the  least  trouble.  Teach 
the  boy  and  girl  that  they  are  the  offspring  of  Spirit  and 
the  economic  conditions  will  right  themselves  in  a  very 
short  time.  This  has  always  produced  a  prosperous  coun- 
try wherever  taught  fully,  but  this  teaching  cannot  stand 
unless  it  be  universal.  This  great  moral  must  be  taught 
world-wide,  hence  it  is  an  international  job  and  must  be 

19 


done  by  co-operation.  This  will  clean  up  all  Nations. 
Then  the  outcast  will  disappear  from  society  and  the 
tramp  question  will  be  settled,  as  well  as  the  immigration 
question.  The  probation  courts  will  then  disband  for 
want  of  work.  This  economics  can  be  taught  to  all  that 
wish  to  become  citizens,  for  it  builds  character  in  the 
aged  as  well  as  the  youth.  This  develops  gentleness,  love 
and  all  good  qualities,  hence  good  citizens,  as  well  as  in- 
telligence in  the  highest  degree.  Therefore  it  is  the  true 
way  to  build  character.  It  is  likewise  very  accurate.  In 
doing  this  great  work,  therefore  it  is  the  true  road  to 
economics.  Hence  the  sayings  of  Christ  Jesus,  seek  ye 
first  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven  and  all  things  will  come 
unto  you.  My  peace  I  leave  with  you.  This  peace  is 
spelled  piece,  and  means  Mother-Father.  Change  our 
army  to  an  army  of  right  doers,  or  peace  workers,  put 
that  into  them  that  Col.  Roosevelt's  friend,  Dr.  Woods 
Hutchinson,  claims  has  been  left  out,  and  we  have  a  body 
of  men  that  will  police  the  entire  world  and  never  fire  a 
gun  of  any  kind,  do  not  disarm  them,  no,  not  even  the 
side-arms,  as  we  have  had  experience  before  just  in  this 
line.  History  gives  this  incaution  as  the  result  of  those 
teachings  of  the  prophet  Jesus,  the  Christ.  His  teachings 
properly  taught  will  make  better  soldiers  for  defense,  but 
not  passive  soldiers.  It  does  not  take  the  fight  out  of  a 
man,  that  has  been  proven  time  and  again,  without  num- 
ber, for  self-defense  is  the  first  corollary  of  that  only  law 
of  Mother-Father.  This  is  the  same  thing  that  has  been 
left  out  of  man;  put  this  in  and  we  again  have  the  true 
man;  hence  the  true  soldier.  Our  army  then  becomes  an 
army  of  salvation.  .  It  is  not  proper  to  say  salvation  army, 
for  that  is  the  army  that  General  Booth  organized,  whom 
we  would  not  defame  or  take  from  him  one  laurel  from 
his  brow.  This  law,  Mother-Father,  fulfills  all  laws,  as 
well  as  all  prophets.  It  adds  to  life,  hence  it  is  Good  to 
put  in  the  place  for  that  which  has  been  left  out.  This 
builds  character,  and  is  just  what  Dr.  Woods  Hutchinson 
finds  has  been  left  out.  This  will  give  his  class  of  crimi- 
nals the  true  strength  to  become  normal  persons,  "sons 

20 


of  God".  These  are  the  kind  of  soldiers  we  wish,  for  they 
have  clean  characters,  not  soldiers  of  the  cross,  but  broth- 
ers whose  password  is  Mother-Father,  the  piece  that 
Christ  Jesus  left  with  his  disciples,  then  our  army  will 
have  become  efficient,  our  Government  will  grow  strong, 
peace  and  good  will  to  men  on  earth  will  come  through 
the  use  of  this  piece  of  our  Master  Jesus  Christ,  Mother- 
Father.  We  are  using  two  words.  First  we  use  piece 
(Mother-Father)  and  we  get  the  results.  Peace  which  the 
whole  world  is  after,  but  before  this  can  occur  we  must 
all  become  as  a  little  child  and  use  Mother-Father;  then 
will  war  cease. 

This  should  be  taught  in  our  schools;  for  it  builds 
character;  it  is  the  one  thing  needful;  even  Martha 
needed  it,  who  was  in  the  presence  of  Christ  Jesus.  This 
alone  will  produce  an  efficient  character,  for  it  is  the 
great  moral  that  Christ  Jesus  taught  to  the  Jews  and 
which  became  a  stumbling  block  to  them  as  well  as  fool- 
ishness to  the  Greek.  This  is  what  the  Character  Builder 
teaches.  This  book  is  well  known,  but  will  be  better 
known  as  we  advance  in  thought,  for  this  great  Infinite 
Spirit  who  is  our  Mother-Father  or  creators  will  lead  us 
into  all  peace,  as  we  say  our  piece  which  is  Mother- 
Father. 

This  will  appeal  to  all  the  nations  of  the  world  and 
Europe  will  join  us  in  this  movement,  for  she  has  imposed 
this  great  duty  upon  us  by  placing  at  the  entrance  of 
New  York  harbor,  a  statue  that  this  move  recognizes  as 
coming  into  actual  view,  the  real  liberation  of  the  entire 
race  of  man,  causing  us  all  to  treat  one  another  as  broth- 
ers. The  vast  amount  that  we  thus  save  is  beyond  con- 
jecture for  we  learn  that  from  two  to  three  millions  of 
people  are,  or  have  that  sick  belief  every  day,  thus  we  see 
if  we  allow  the  amount  of  one  dollar  and  one  half  per  day 
as  lost  by  even  this  class  of  people  in  time  alone  we  have 
the  snug  sum  per  diem  of  about  four  to  five  millions  per 
day;  then  when  we  reckon  this  per  year  we  have  much 
greater  amount  when  we  know  that  by  thinking  Mother- 
Father,  we  come  into  complete  health,  we  see  what  this 

21 


method  of  thinking  will  do  and  thus  we  see  what  a  vast 
saving  occurs  by  using  this  moral.  Then  we  begin  to  find 
out  the  real  value  of  Christ  Jesus '  saying,  Mother-Father, 
which  will  supply  this  want  that  is  in  all  men  and  truly  is 
wonderful.  How  can  we  wake  the  world  up  to  this  prob- 
lem? Simply  show  them  from  a  financial  standpoint 
what  the  loss  is.  This  would  take  pages  to  do  and  takes 
up  the  subject  of  economics,  which  should  be  taught  in 
all  of  our  schools.  Yet,  when  you  begin  to  think  how  to 
proceed,  you  will  find  that  economics  vanish  when  we 
teach  Mother-Father.  Thus  we  shorten  our  school  course ; 
therefore  we  can  get  a  glimpse  of  why  Christ  Jesus  was, 
while  in  the  flesh,  such  a  great  teacher.  He  taught  only 
one  law,  and  that  law  is  Mother-Father. 


MOTHER-FATHER. 

HIS  phrase  is  the  expression  used  to  close  or  shut 
the  world  out  from  one  or  place  metaphorically 
speaking,  one  in  his  or  her  closet,  barring  all 
thoughts  except  that  thought  that  we  are  the  offspring  of 
that  Infinite  Divine  Love,  Life  and  Truth,  that  pervades 
all  space,  hence  Christ  Jesus  could  cry  Spirit  is  all,  the 
flesh  profiteth  nothing.  Christ  Jesus  was  extremely  nat- 
ural and  Mother-Father  was  the  way  through  and  by 
which  he  did  all  things,  hence  he  is  the  only  way,  there- 
fore he  could  say  spiritually  I  am  the  way,  the  life  and 
the  truth.  Shut  or  close  your  closet  door.  How  we  do 
this  is  told  in  a  few  words.  We  simply  think  Mother- 
Father.  Biology  is  life  exemplified,  vigorous  correct  life 
produces  healthy  plants  as  well  as  healthy  animals.  We 
are  working  for  man  first,  since  man  has  by  divine  right 
control  of  all  living  beings.  Man  must  be  corrected  first. 
To  do  this  all  of  their  actions  must  be  correct  or  man  will 
not  be  in  that  happy  state  of  mind  that  produces  the 
proper  governing  state.  A  governor  of  any  body  of  men 
must  be  in  perfect  accord  with  that  body  or  rebellious 

22 


thoughts  will  creep  into  that  body,  which  is  made  up  of 
individuals  who,  in  their  turn  are  made  up  of  members 
of  that  individual  such  as  the  hands  and  arms,  feet  and 
legs ;  these  members  are  made  up  of  muscles  and  tendons 
as  well  as  bones,  nerves,  blood,  vessels,  fascia  that  rap 
the  muscles,  or  the  various  striae  of  these  muscles  which 
striae  are  made  up  of  cells  that  are  made  up  of  molecules ; 
these  molecules  are  made  up  of  atoms,  the  atoms  of  ions, 
the  ions  of  force,  this  force  obeys  one  universal  law  when 
this  law  is  set  in  action  properly.  This  force  is  a  force  of 
good,  hence  as  life  goes  it  is  Health.  This  health  can  be 
obtained  by  thinking  pure  thoughts,  as  we  think,  so  are 
we.  Then  let  us  think  as  the  little  child,  Mother-Father. 
This  thought  controls  the  primary  cells  of  the  f  ormulative 
matter  that  builds  up  the  child,  and  that  matter  is  in  the 
shape  of  cells.  The  egg  is  simply  a  cell,  the  spermatazoa 
are  cells,  hence  we  can  see  that  the  cell  should  be  healthy, 
but  the  cell  is  controlled  by  mind,  but  mind  is  Spirit; 
therefore  the  cells  are  controlled  by  Spirit,  but  Spirit  is 
our  creators  and  it  is  their  desire  for  their  children  to 
call  them  Mother-Father ;  hence  this  is  the  great  law  that 
one  should  think  to  obtain  health  by  thinking. 
'  This  is  the  way,  the  life  and  the  truth;  therefore  all 
honor  to  Christ  Jesus  who  said  Abba-Atta.  Mark  14-36, 
or  as  the  King  James  version  has  it,  Abba-Father.  This 
is  the  most  scientific  law  that  has  been  promulgated  as 
science  since  the  foundation  of  the  universe.  All  laws 
are  corollary  to  this  one  universal  law.  How  shall  we  ap- 
ply it?  Simply  as  a  little  child.  Permit  us  to  illustrate. 
Take  any  case  where  mankind  says  the  person  is  sick. 
How  can  we  apply  this  great  law  of  health  ?  Simply  have 
the  patient  think  Mother-Father.  This  can  be  best  done 
by  teaching  that  man,  which  includes  all  mankind,  are 
brothers  and  sisters,  that  we  are  all  the  offspring  of  spirit 
that  we  all  have  one  fatherhood,  even  God,  Good,  hence 
Good  Spirit;  therefore  we  are  the  offspring  of  this  one 
person  or  persons,  that  we  live  in  the  home  of  this  Spirit, 
for  we  live  and  move  and  have  our  being  in  God ;  therefore 
God's  home  is  our  home;  therefore  we  belong  to  that  fam- 

23 


ily,  the  Holy  Ghost,  Father  and  Son,  and  live  in  that  home 
with  them ;  therefore  we  must  treat  every  member  of  this 
home  as  we  would  have  the  members  of  our  family  treat 
us.  Our  Mother  or  Father  call  us  son  or  daughter,  as  the 
case  may  be.  We  in  return  to  call  our  finite  parents 
Mother  or  Father,  as  is  proper,  but  our  unseen  parents 
we  address  as  Mother-Father. 

This  is  our  shield  of  faith,  our  breastplate  of  righteous- 
ness, our  helmet  of  salvation,  the  undivided  garment  of 
salvation.  Let  us  give  the  patient  this  shield  as  the  pass- 
word to  the  brotherhood  of  man,  then  watch  him  glow. 
He  has  fever,  either  normal  or  abnormal,  even  anger  will 
produce  fever  though  the  thermometer  may  not  show  any 
rise  of  temperature,  but  it  is  not  necessary  to  diagnose 
the  case.  Christ  Jesus  never  did,  for  all  of  his  work  was 
done  for  him.  Spirit  did  the  work  for  the  son,  working 
in  complete  harmony  as  one  harmonious  family,  Mother- 
Father,  or  Mother-Father  and  Son.  This  Son  Truth  being 
Spirit,  and  being  in  perfect  accord  with  the  parents,  did 
with  their  aid  perfect  work,  therefore  be  ye  perfect  as  I 
am  perfect,  is  to  say  Mother-Father,  and  all  things  shall 
be  added  unto  you.  That  is,  your  prayers  will  be  ans- 
wered for  Harmony  being  established,  Health  will  return 
or  be  gained.  This  is  called  the  good  fight,  this  establish- 
ing Harmony,  this  testing  of  this  phrase  is  to  be  continued 
through  our  temporal  existence  and  is  called  "Bearing 
his  or  their  or  my  name,  that  is  simply  addressing  our  par- 
ents in  our  home  or  their  home,  for  we  are  all  of  one  fam- 
ily, since  we  be  brethren,  thus  we  commune  and  break 
the  Bread  of  Life  to  all.  This  is  preaching  the  Good 
Spell  or  Gospel.  Hence  we  thus  become  sent  or  mission- 
aries, teachers,  preachers,  apostles,  but  we  should  do  this 
work  in  an  humble  way.  Giving  it  as  we  give  a  cup  of 
cold  water  we  give  the  living  water  that  brings  health  to 
all.  Even  the  blood  corpuscles  cease  to  be  angry,  therefore 
stop  devouring  one  another,  the  white  change  their  action 
to  right  action,  they  assume  a  red  color  and  help  to  build 
tissue,  cease  to  tear  down  and  begin  to  build  up  the  body, 
setting  everything  aright  in  the  blood  vessels,  where  per- 

24 


feet  harmony  reigns,  thus  health  is  established  and  the 
person  makes  a  complete  recovery. 

This  has  been  demonstrated  by  the  writer  in  the  case 
of  cancer  and  consumption.  In  wrong  doing  and  in  many 
other  troubles  this  law  starts  with  the  blood  and  thus  be- 
gins the  purifying  at  the  primary  centers  of  life  and  does 
it  through  love  and  truth,  hence  it  is  the  true  Christ  way 
of  healing  all  trouble.  We  must  establish  harmony.  All 
recognize  this.  The  doctor  has  his  nurse  that  he  swears 
by,  one  that  can  give  peace  of  mind  for  the  time  being, 
but  the  command  is :  Be  ye  perfect  as  I  am  perfect,  then 
to  have  perfect  harmony  is  to  be  decent  and  we  can  not 
have  a  perfect  home  until  we  do  become  decent,  but  to  be- 
come decent  is  to  say  Mother-Father,  as  a  little  child.  Not 
on  our  bended  knees,  but  in  our  daily  walks  in  life,  as  we 
go  abroad  or  about  our  daily  duties.  We  can  keep  these 
pure  words  in  mind  and  thus  grow  in  this  way  of  faith, 
which  is  the  only  way.  All  orders,  denominations,  fac- 
tions, fractions,  as  well  as  sects,  have  their  ways,  but  my 
way  is  the  only  way.  Walk  ye  in  it,  sayeth  the  only  one, 
that  is  able  to  open  that  great  book,  the  Bible.  Therefore 
it  becomes  us  to  be  decent,  that  is  to  say  Mother-Father, 
and  see  to  it  that  all  get  it,  for  it  is  written  that  all  shall 
know  my  name,  which  is  Mother-Father.  John  fifteen, 
verse  26.  But  when  the  comforter  is  come  whom  I  will 
send  you  as  Mother-Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  Truth, 
which  is  obtained  by  saying  or  thinking  Mother-Father, 
he  shall  testify  of  me,  Spirit. 


•HAT  shall  we  teach  the  youth  of  our  country,  as 
well  as  the  entire  world?  This  is  the  most  im- 
portant question  of  the  day.  The  manner  of  doing 
this  involves  the  peace  of  the  world,  hence  the  happiness 
of  all  the  human  races.  We  will  give  a  synopsis  of  this 
as  we  see  it  from  that  great  moral  standpoint,  Mother- 
Father,  or  Abba-Atta. 

The  child  is  the  offspring  of  Spirit  and  should  be  so 
taught.    The  child  is  from  heaven  or  harmony  and  being 

25 


from  harmony  will  return  to  harmony,  hence  should  re- 
main in  harmony  while  in  the  flesh  as  well  as  after  de- 
parting from  the  flesh.  Therefore  we  see  the  finite  per- 
son can  have  two  states  of  being,  Heaven  and  Hell.  By 
being  taught  as  Christ  Jesus  taught,  this  finite  person 
can  be  happy  or  unhappy.  Obey  the  teachings  of  Christ 
Jesus  and  all  are  happy.  Then  how  can  we  obey  Christ 
Jesus '  teachings  ?  Simply  carry  his  burden  as  he  did,  and 
know  as  he  knows,  that  all  we  get  while  we  are  in  the 
flesh  is  what  we  can  eat  and  wear,  as  far  as  materiality 
is  concerned.  Spirit  gives  us  happiness;  to  know  him  is 
to  have  eternal  life. 

How  can  we  teach  the  child  to  know  Spirit  ?  By  teach- 
ing Mother-Father,  in  whom  we  all  live  and  move  and 
have  our  being.  Give  the  child  access  to  the  Character 
Builder  and  all  of  that  person's  troubles  end.  The  same 
may  be  said  of  all  five  volumes  that  we  publish.  These 
build  the  citizen  that  we,  as  fellow  citizens,  can  feel  proud 
of.  All  are  benefited  by  these  works,  none  need  be  afraid 
of  them,  for  they  all  cast  out  fear.  Any  of  these  works 
are  good.  These  last  pages  should  form  part  of  the  books. 
Since  in  them  is  summed  up  the  entire  work  of  Christ 
Jesus,  Mother-Father  as  taught  by  the  author  and  finisher 
of  our  faith,  produces  the  perfect  child  in  Spirit  as  well 
as  in  flesh. 

This  great  lesson  as  taught  by  the  master,  leads  into  all 
Truth.  The  child  gets  its  bearings,  and  is  ready  to  work 
for  his  fellowman,  hence  is  ready  to  serve,  and  as  this 
person  serves,  this  person  is  exalted.  Thus  producing  a 
citizen  of  the  first  quality  an  honor  to  his  country  where- 
ever  he  or  she  goes,  gaining  Intelligence  from  all  sources, 
for  he  knows  that  he  is  at  home  wherever  this  person  is, 
be  he  a  male  or  female,  always  ready  to  give  to  his  or  her 
fellow  person  any  needed  assistance;  thus  brightening 
the  world  wherever  this  person  is.  Thus  letting  their 
light  shine  so  that  it  may  be  seen  of  men  and  enjoyed. 
We  have  nothing  to  say  against  the  present  school  sys- 
tem, nor  any  teacher  or  person ;  simply  say  that  Mother- 
Father,  or  the  Great  Character  Builder  is  the  Moses  to 

26 


lead  you  out  of  all  your  troubles.  These  are  many  for 
every  teacher,  but  follow  Spirit  as  directed  and  your 
mountains  will  be  removed  just  as  sure  as  there  is  love, 
life  and  Truth.  This  is  the  only  scientific  way. 

We  can  not  become  a  brother  of  Christ  Jesus  until  we 
take  up  his  burden  and  follow  him.  We  have  fixed  be- 
yond a  doubt  that  Christ  Jesus  carried  Abba-Atta,  that 
he  cried  Abba-Atta,  that  Abba-Atta,  translated  into  plain 
English,  is  Mother-Father — that  Spirit  responds  to  this 
call  of  their  children.  That  it  is  Spirit's  good  pleasure 
to  give  their  children  the  Kingdom  as  we  advance  in  the 
way;  that  they  are  no  respecter  of  person;  that  in  this 
Kingdom  is  the  greatest  university — that  this  world  has 
that  all,  have  access  to  this  great  school,  that  all  things 
are  added  thereto  as  we  gain  this  Kingdom,  that  this 
Kingdom  is  a  state  and  is  obtainable  by  all,  hence  when 
all  gain  this  state  wars  will  cease,  hence  peace  will  reign 
then  that  glad  sound  of  great  joy  will  be  appreciated. 

"Unto  us  a  child  is  born,  unto  us  a  son  is  given,"  this 
then  is  the  way  that  the  true  political  economist  would 
educate.  The  true  scientific  student  needs  no  other  way, 
for  he  can  know  that  there  is  no  other  way  that  man  can 
be  led  into  all  Truth. 

We  do  not  know  what  Love  is,  nor  do  we  know  what 
home  is  until  we  have  lived  in  the  home  of  Christ  Jesus, 
with  those  Infinite  parents  day  by  day  and  night  by 
night.  We  can  only  know  this  by  following  Christ  Jesus, 
crying  Mother-Father,  for  this  is  the  perfect  translation 
of  Abba-Atta.  It  is  the  persons  in  the  home  that  makes 
the  home ;  then  get  acquainted  with  these  persons,  Moth- 
er-Father-Truth, which  is  the  son.  Then  will  you  be  hap- 
py, and  not  until  then  will  the  world  know  what  it  is  to 
be  happy.  These  unseen  persons  are  real  and  eternal  per- 
sons, for  Spirit  has  the  power  to  assume  any  shape  they 
choose,  but  it  is  the  joy  that  they  give,  accompanied  with 
that  loving  care  that  our  finite  parents  try  to  bestow  and 
do  to  their  utmost,  but  the  Infinite  has  the  power  to  do 
things  better,  for  they  have  created  all  and  hence  own  all. 
This  happiness  comes  by  degrees ;  it  is  a  state  just  as  Hell 

27 


is  a  state,  so  we  can  pass  from  death  or  Hell  unto  life  or 
Heaven.  Then  let  us  teach  the  child,  and  not  only  the 
child,  but  everybody,  that  Mother-Father  is  the  way  to 
eternal  life  and  is  the  chief  cornerstone  unto  all  educa- 
tion ;  the  only  true  foundation  that  education  has  to  build 
upon.  Place  this  foundation  in  your  or  our  educational 
system  and  the  gates  of  Hell  cannot  prevail  against  it,  for 
the  state  of  Hell  will  have  disappeared  and  we  will  have 
our  harmonious  whole  Heaven. 

We  are  giving  to  the  world  scientific  facts,  no  theories. 
We  know  something  about  theories,  such  as  the  theory  of 
Molecular  Motion  as  worked  out  in  Bartlett's  Mechanics, 
a  text  book  of  the  highest  order,  used  at  the  West  Point 
Military  Academy  of  the  United  States  of  America;  also 
as  used  by  such  scientists  as  Geot,  Bloxam,  Tindal,  and 
many  others.  The  atomic  theory  rested  on  this  basis,  but 
some  one  divided  the  atom,  then  we  had  to  use  another 
invention,  the  aeon ;  but  this  was  proven  to  be  sound ;  then 
we  had  to  use  the  ion.  Ion  is  simply  a  metaphysical  prop- 
osition, but  Mother-Father  is  the  real  thing  and  is  neither 
theory  nor  fad,  for  it  is  eternal  and  the  beauty  of  it  is 
that  the  little  child  can  use  it.  Nor  does  the  child  have 
to  study  until  twenty  or  twenty-five  years  of  age  before 
they  reap  the  benefit  from  the  use  of  this  joined  stone. 
The  work  begins  at  once  and  the  person  begins  to  reap 
at  once  the  grand  benefits  of  the  use  of  this  phrase.  The 
blood  begins  right  action  at  once,  the  whole  frame  re- 
sponds to  Spirit  which  soon  eliminates  fear. 

The  advancement  is  rapid.  Even  the  child  of  the  low- 
est standing  soon  derives  great  good  from  this  teaching 
of  Christ  Jesus.  So  it  is  not  a  new  discovery,  but  is  the 
true  teachings  of  our  Master,  Christ  Jesus,  to  teach  man- 
kind the  way  back  to  that  one  creator,  the  only  true  God. 
Hence,  as  he  says,  this  knowledge  is  Eternal  life.  Hence 
this  teaching  is  not  theory,  nor  some  wild  plan  or  fad,  or 
fake,  but  is  the  genuine  biblical  teaching  of  Christ  Jesus, 
even  undiluted  and  without  a  competitor.  Nor  can  any 
one  rise  up  and  say  that  it  is  not  the  Truth,  the  whole 
Truth,  and  nothing  but  the  very  Truth. 

28 


We  are  desirous  of  this  great  Truth  being  given  to  the 
world.     Yet,  being  so  simple,     it  is  the  child  language; 
therefore,  unless  we  say  it  we  cannot  enter  into  that  state 
of  rest,  called  harmony.    The  line  between  inharmony  and 
harmony    is    simply  in,     this  is  the     difference  between 
Heaven  and  Hell,  between  peace  and  war,  between  right 
doing  and  wrong  doing.    Yet  to  enter  in  we  must  say  as 
a  little  child,  Mother-Father.     Only  one  person  has  told 
me  that  he  could  not  say  Mother-Father.     We  do  not 
know  why  he  did,  but  anyone  present  could  understand 
that  he  did,  for  he  said,  "Doc,     I  will  not  say  Mother- 
Father.  ' '    So  you  see  he  lied,  yet  that  man  was  so  full  of 
love,  and  gave  it  out  so  freely  that  he  told  me  he  loved 
every  bone  in  my  body;  yet,  just  a  while  before  this  he 
told  me  that  "Mrs.  Eddy's     book  is  a  very     dangerous 
one."     This  man  had  great  wealth,     for  he  was  full  of 
love,  which  cannot  be  bought.     Wealth  does  not  consist 
of  materiality.     It  is  real.    This  man  had  built  his  up  by 
acting  the  little  child.    Yet  he  did  not  wish  to  say  Mother- 
Father,  for  to  him,  it  was  a  stumbling  block,  showing 
that  he  belonged  to  the  house  of  Abraham,  for  by  their 
works  ye  shall  know  them.    Thus,  we  differentiate  mind 
and  find  out  the  origin  of  man.    Yet  this  man  is  saved, 
for  he  has  said  Mother-Father;  hence  he  shall  be  shown 
my  salvation,  which  is  perfect  harmony.    Let  us  all  join 
in  one  sweet  accord  and  praise  God.     Out  of  the  mouth 
of  babes  thou  shalt  have  perfect  praise,  Mother-Father 
is  perfect  praise,  none  other  will  do.     Yet  we  must  be 
doers  of  the  word,  as  well  as  sayers  of  it,  for  faith  with- 
out works  is  dead.    That  is  the  simple  saying  of  Mother- 
Father,  is  not  all  that  makes  wealth,  for  the  minister  that 
we  spoke  of,  loving  every  bone  in  our  body,  did  not  wish 
to  praise  God  by  saying  Mother-Father,  yet  he  was  do- 
ing much  building  of  character.    Now,  a  character  with- 
out the  foundation  stone  is  one  of  those  that  are  built  on 
sand,  for  the  teachings  of  the  master  mind  is  explicit  on 
this  matter;  except  ye  become  as  a  little  child  ye  cannot 
be  my  disciples,  for  all  of  my  disciples  are  fishers  of  men 
and  they  must,  all  use  the  bait  that  I  gave  Peter  to  fish 
with,  and  this  bait  is  Mother-Father. 

29 


JESUS'  sole  purpose  in  life  was  to  benefit 
his  fellow  man,  and  his  plan  was  the  simple  little 
phrase,  Mother-Father.  This  is,  and  was  his  text 
book.  It  was  always  Abba-Atta  in  thought,  if  not  in 
word.  Abba-Atta  in  English  is  Mother-Father.  He  knew 
that  he  lived  in  and  through  Spirit,  and  by  Abba-Atta 
he  gained  all  of  his  victories.  He  learned  his  lesson  well 
and  handled  all  of  his  problems  by  saying  his  piece— 
Abba-Atta.  This  was  his  seal  of  love,  for  he  knew  that 
it  gave  his  parents,  those  Infinite  persons,  those  three  in 
one,  great  pleasure  for  to  be  called  Mother-Father  by 
their  son  Truth,  this  being  the  name  that  those  Infinite 
Beings  knew  Jesus  by.  We,  on  the  other  hand,  know  him 
by  Christ  Jesus,  or  the  one  Jesus  whom  Spirit  anointed 
without  measure.  As  he  gave  pleasure  to  these  Infinite 
parents,  they  gave  him  pleasure  and  this  pleasure  was 
without  measure.  This  caused  his  blood  to  circulate  in 
his  veins  in  a  correct  manner,  for  since  he  gave  honest 
dues  to  Mother-Father,  it  was  returned  to  him  without 
stint ;  hence  his  blood  was  pure ;  therefore  he  had  no  pain 
nor  sorry  thoughts  as  long  as  he  assumed  the  attitude  of 
a  perfect  child,  which  is  to  say  Mother-Father.  Saying 
this  he  gave  joy  unbounded,  for  Spirit  is  unbounded; 
therefore  we  all  can  do  this  same  thing,  thus  we  cease  to 
do  wrong  and  learn  to  do  what  is  correct.  Saying  or 
thinking  Mother-Father  changes  the  wayfarer  to  the  way- 
bearer,  or  the  criminal  to  the  honest  man.  The  wayward 
boy  to  the  honest  man,  the  boy  that  is  on  probation  to  the 
boy  who  needs  no  such  officer,  for  they  all  soon  learn 
that  they  too  are  sons  of  Spirit  or  God,  and  that  that  all- 
seeing  eye  is  upon  them,  for  they  too  find  that  they  have 
friends  that  are  watching  over  them.  That  all  unrighte- 
ousness comes  from  the  want  of  the  knowledge  of  this 
great  fact  that  our  first  and  greatest  moral  obligation  is 
to  say  Mother-Father.  This  moral  will  cleanse  from  all 
desire  to  do  wrong  and  cause  any  one  that  uses  this 
thought  of  Love  to  do  right.  Therefore  it  is  our  duty  to 
love  God  and  keep  his  commandment.  His  commandment 
is  to  say  Mother-Father.  This  is  the  summation  of  the 

30 


Bible.  Teach  this  to  man  and  the  world  will  soon  be  at 
peace,  for  it  is  a  purifier  of  the  blood  as  nothing  else 
purifies,  for  it  first  purifies  the  mind,  shutting  out  all 
evil  thoughts,  since  no  two  thoughts  or  subjects  can  be 
retained  in  the  mind  at  the  same  time.  Mother-Father  is 
the  only  one.  Hence  Mother-Father  is  the  true  founda- 
tion for  to  build  character  upon.  Such  a  character  can- 
not be  shipwrecked.  It  will  sail  in  any  sea  without  dan- 
ger or  fear,  for  Mother-Father  eliminates  fear  to  the  limit. 
Watching,  waiting,  saying  Mother-Father  makes  the  per- 
fect character,  as  it  appears  before  us  in  the  character  of 
Christ  Jesus. 

Thus  mankind  can  think  themselves  into  health  as  well 
as  all  right  doing.  Thinking  thus  one  avoids  the  wrong 
and  does  the  right.  "Wrong  doing  becomes  obnoxious  to 
them  and  they  shun  it.  This  continues,  and  as  one  knows 
their  name,  Mother-Father,  their  salvation  is  sure.  They 
know  that  they  are  in  the  presence  of  those  parents,  for 
they  are  their  offspring  and  do  belong  to  the  great  broth- 
erhood of  man,  the  family  of  the  one  only  God  who  is 
true  to  all  his  or  their  children.  These  parents  take  a 
pride  in  caring  for  their  offspring,  for  they  are  real  as 
well  as  eternal  and  do  not  do  things  half  way  as  the 
translators  of  our  Bible  have  done  with  that  phrase, 
Mother-Father,  for  they  have  left  Abba  untrans- 
lated. This  puts  all  of  Christ  Jesus'  teachings  in  reach 
of  all,  gives  every  one  a  chance  to  enter  those  pearly  gates 
of  Infinite  Love,  which  are  entered  by  doing  as  directed, 
saying  and  doing  Mother-Father. 

This  cleanses  us  from  all  unrighteousness.  Our  blood 
takes  part  in  the  material  action,  but  this  action  cannot 
take  place  without  the  Spiritual,  which  is  started  and 
kept  agoing  by  saying  Mother-Father.  Talking  this  to 
your  fellowman  is  preaching  the  Gospel.  Thus  man  is 
saved  from  all  unrighteousness,  they,  therefore,  can  say 
there  is  no  sin,  sickness,  disease,  nor  death,  for  the  blood 
once  set  in  motion  by  right  doing  does  its  perfect  work, 
for  by  saying  this  password  and  giving  it  out,  we  become 
as  the  perfect  child,  who  was  Christ  Jesus,  and  who  said 

31 


that  the  waybearer,  though  foolish  man,  could  do  this. 
We  can  testify  that  his  testimony  is  true,  and  we  have 
seen  the  results  of  this  wonderous  story  of  this  wonder- 
ous  love,  which  is  brought  about  by  that  child  language, 
Mother-Father,  by  thinking  this  our  prayers  or  desires 
are  fulfilled,  as  well  as  many  things  that  are  not  asked 
for.  They  cannot  do  enough  for  offspring  that  try  to 
be  decent,  as  well  as  kind,  starting  with  Mother-Father 
and  ending  with  the  password  to  the  brotherhood  of  man. 


CHRIST  JESUS,  HIS  MEHTOD  OF  DEMONSTRATION. 

HRIST  JESUS  did  one  thing  while  on  earth  that 
few  have  thought  of.  He  established  that  grand 
scientific  fact  that  Truth  will  overcome  error  and 
He  called  this  error,  Satan,  or  the  world,  self.  He  told 
his  disciples  that  they  need  not  fear  for  he  had  overcome 
the  world.  That  is,  he  had  established  that  scientific 
fact  that  the  thinking,  talking,  telling,  or  preaching, 
Mother-Father,  would  destroy  inharmony;  that  is,  elim- 
inate all  anger  from  the  blood.  People  up  to  this  time 
had  taught  and  been  taught  that  without  the  shedding  of 
blood  there  is  no  remission  of  sins.  That  our  prayers 
could  never  be  answered  unless  there  was  a  sacrifice. 
That  someone  had  to  become  a  victim,  in  some  way  blood 
had  to  flow. 

This,  our  Elder  Brother,  called  that  old  lie,  the  same 
that  caused  that  hatred  to  arise  in  the  mind  of  Cain  until 
he  slew  Abel.  Christ  Jesus  proved  that  there  is  no  neces- 
sity of  this  and  that  instead  we  should  love  one  another. 
He  proved  that  we  are  one  with  God;  he  proved  that  he 
was  the  perfect  offspring  of  Spirit ;  he  proved  that  it  is 
the  desire  of  those  Infinite  parents  that  we,  their  children, 
call  them  Mother-Father. 

He  proved  by  going  on  the  cross  that  life  cannot  be  de- 
stroyed, which  he  had  done  three  times  before  this  trage- 
dy, the  greatest  acting  on  the  stage  of  this  world  that  was 
ever  done.  Yet  with  all  this  evidence  we  see  not,  nor  do 

32 


we  hear  that  glad  sound  of  great  joy  that  rings  out  in  the 
heavens,  Hosannah,  Hosannah,  Hosannah,  the  Lord  of  his 
righteousness  reigneth.     This  is  simply  a  state  and  is 
heard  only  by  a  few  that  obtain  it  by  living  this  God- 
spell.    Peace  on  earth  and  Good  will  to  men.    We  cannot 
purify  our  blood  by  mineral  water,  or  by  any  dieting, 
bleeding,  or  in  any  material  manner.    We  have  seen  this 
tried  in  many  ways  and  as  a  physician  was  very  success- 
ful, but  the  finite  cannot  be  compared  in  power  to  the 
Infinite.    Neither  can  physics  be  compared  to  psychology. 
The  seventy  made  a  report  on  this  matter ;  that  is  record- 
ed and  stands  as  a  matter  of  history.    Truth,  and  Mother- 
Father  is  the  Infinite  Truth  bound  by  the  bonds  of  love 
and  life,  is  more  powerful  than  a  two-edged  sword,  for 
this  Truth  pervades  all  space  and  is  the  universal  remedy 
for  all  false  beliefs.    War  being  a  false  belief  or  a  disease 
of  the  mind  is  subject  to  this  great  Truth  as  explained 
and  demonstrated  by  Christ  Jesus.    He  proved  that  Spirit 
is  all  and  that  matter  is  nothing.    Yet  this  proof  involved 
the  fact  that  Spirit  did  control  matter,  since  this  is  true 
for  one  portion  of  the  body  and  is  true  for  a  cut  finger  to 
stop  bleeding  it  is  true  for  all  of  the  blood  corpuscles  of 
the  body.     Spirit  controls     and  takes  care     of  all  flesh. 
Therefore  let  us  all  become     decent  and  since  we     are 
always  in  Spirit,  let  us  see  to  it  that  we  address  Spirit  as 
Mother-Father,  for  we  too  are  in  that     home  of     Christ 
Jesus  that  is  built  without  hands  and  is  eternal  Harmony. 
If  we  do  our  part  as  we  should,  then  we  too  become  as 
pure  as  he  is  pure,  for  we  to  have  that  hope  within  us; 
the  hope  that  Paul  had,  Romans  8-15,  and  Galatians  4-6, 
which  we  quote  in  their  order.    For  ye  have  not  receiv- 
ed the  Spirit  of  bondage  again  to  fear;  but  ye  have  re- 
ceived the  Spirit  of  adoption,  whereby  we  cry  Mother- 
Father.     Then  Galatians  4-6:  And  because  ye  are  sons, 
God  hath  sent  forth  the  Spirit  of  his  son   (Truth)   into 
your  hearts  crying  Mother-Father.  Thus  we  see  that  Paul 
purified  himself  by  the  use  of  Mother-Father.    John  did 
the  same ;  Jude  did  thus,  and  the  entire  Christian  people 
continued  this  for  many  years  after  the  death  and  resur- 

33 


rection  of  the  material  body  of  Jesus.  This  body  being  a 
belief  was  subject  to  the  same  law,  Mother-Father,  hence 
when  it  was  no  longer  necessary  for  the  Christ  to  occupy. 
It  too  vanished  perhaps  into  the  Dead  sea  for  he  said  to 
that  one  that  the  dead  should  bury  the  dead.  This  body 
of  water  destroyed  decaying  matter  very  quickly,  hence 
the  saying,  let  the  dead  bury  the  dead. 

Christ  Jesus  had  this  Christ  Spirit  without  measure. 
Hence  he  was  always  in  sympathy  with  all  that  were  in 
distress,  any  one  that  was  afflicted  could  apply  to  him,  he 
being  in  harmony  with  Mother-Father,  who  are  his  good 
parents,  and  who  are  all  powerful  Spirit,  being  ever  pres- 
ent, are  able  to  and  willing  to  give  even  the  complete 
reign  of  that  harmony  that  passeth  all  understanding 
until  we  are  able  and  willing  to  say  Mother-Father,  then 
we  gain  understanding  for  they  do  lead  us  into  all  Truth, 
since  Truth  is  everywhere  and  binds  love  to  life  and  life 
to  love,  thus  forming  that  Infinite  Being,  Spirit,  God,  all 
of  his  prayers  were  answered  in  a  short  time.  Hence, 
when  we  pr5y  and  wish  our  desires  accomplished  we 
must  pray  as  Christ  Jesus  prayed.  John  gives  us  one 
prayer  delivered  the  evening  of  Christ  Jesus  arrest.  Mark 
14-36  we  find  the  other.  These  are  not  the  same  prayers, 
for  Christ  Jesus,  Mark  records,  prayed  three  times  and 
tells  us  that  he  spoke  the  same  words,  that  is  Abba-Atta, 
thy  will  be  done,  Mother-Father,  not  our  will,  but  thine 
be  done,  is  the  prayer  of  faith,  the  prayer  that  the  little 
child  should  know.  Christ  Jesus  taught  this  in  season 
and  out  of  season.  It  was  always  confidence  in  that  grand 
and  great  spirit,  Mother-Father,  that  caused  him  to  get 
his  prayers  answered.  This  is  the  strong  prayer  and 
should  be  known  by  all,  for  it  is  the  prayer  that  exalts 
one.  Christ  Jesus  always  asked  in  that  one  form,  Abba- 
Atta,  and  in  no  other,  hence  the  Bible  should  conform  to 
his  mode  of  prayer.  Change  his  history  back  to  the  form 
it  had  in  the  year  100  and  we  will  have  Mother-Father, 
where  we  have  Father  as  applied  to  Good.  Then  Our 
Father  should  be  written  Our  Mother-Father,  who  art  in 
heaven.  This  becomes  us  very  much  that  we  do  this  as  a 

34 


nation,  for  as  a  nation  we  should  learn  to  do  correctly, 
and  not  guess  that  we  are  right,  but  know  that  we  are. 
That  grand  man  David  Crockett  always  tried  to  know,  be- 
lief did  not  count.  Hit  or  Miss,  David  Crockett's  motto 
was  "Be  sure  you  are  right,  then  go  ahead."  He  acted 
Mother-Father;  he  taught  as  a  child,  and  talked  as  a 
grand  man.  Even  the  fowls  of  the  air  he  claimed,  helped 
him  in  his  electioneering.  God  led  him,  but  outnumbered 
he  met  his  fate  at  the  Alamo.  We  do  not  wish  to  talk  war 
but  we  can  say  that  all  nations  should  be  decent;  there- 
fore all  nations  should  be  taught  that  God  is  our  Creator ; 
that  God  is  Spirit;  that  Man  is  the  offspring;  hence  the 
sons  and  daughters  of  Spirit.  Therefore  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  God. 


THE  TREATMENT  OF  WAR  AS  DISEASE. 

HE  basis  of  all  disease  is  anger.  All  diseased  con- 
1 1  ditions  are  accompanied  with  fever.  All  drugs 
given  in  regular  doses  produce  an  increase  of  tem- 
perature. Anger  always  produces  an  increase  of  temper- 
ature. The  fever  is  produced  by  "alcohol,  by  tobacco  and 
many  other  stimulants.  These  stimulants  act  through  the 
blood.  The  fever  may  be  of  such  a  low  order  that  there 
is  no  increase  of  temperature.  As  it  is  in  the  case  of  nag- 
ging, fault  finding,  quarelling,  as  is  the  case  of  man  and 
wife  many  times  over  their  little  family  affairs.  These 
differences  may  be  very  slight,  but  they  always  tell  on  the 
health  of  the  individuals  involved  in  the  controversy; 
therefore  inharmony  is  hell,  and  hell  should  be  avoided. 

Inharmony  is  always  accompanied  with  fever,  and  as 
long  as  the  inharmony  lasts  the  fever  lasts ;  therefore  war 
is  accompanied  with  an  increase  of  the  diseases  that  are 
fashionable,  such  as  itch,  chickenpox,  whooping  cough, 
measles,  mumps,  scarlet  fever,  berri-berri,  typhoid,  spinal 
meningitis,  which  may  be  tubercular  in  character,  yellow 
fever,  remittent  or  intermittent  fever,  in  fact  all  those 

35 


errors  that  fear  produces  for  anger,  is  always  accom- 
panied by  fear,  yet  many  will  say  that  they  are  afraid 
of  nothing.  We  all  say  that  we  are  afraid  of  war  and 
dread  its  breaking  out,  but  war  is  the  result  of  anger; 
therefore  war  is  a  disease  and  is  amenable  to  treatment, 
just  as  any  other  disease  can  be  treated,  so  can  war  be 
treated.  You  ask  in  surprise,  is  that  true?  Can  you,  as 
a  student,  or  as  a  wise  man,  find  any  fault  in  our  reason- 
ing? Therefore  it  is  true  and  we  have  our  Master's  word 
for  it  that  "My  piece  I  leave  with  you."  He  also  said 
peace  be  still,  to  the  storm,  and  there  was  a  calm.  Did 
this  occur?  Yes,  it  is  true,  and  we  too  can  produce  this 
same  state  of  mind.  Not  only  in  our  mind  as  we  did  to- 
night, but  in  all  minds,  for  our  Infinite  parents  have 
given  us  the  Kingdom  within  us  and  the  promise  is  that 
our  efforts  shall  be  recognized  just  as  well  as  our  elder 
brothers  were  on  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  so  the  thought  came 
to  us  tonight  about  nine  P.  M.,  that  the  war  is  over  that 
President  Huerta  has  agreed  to  an  amicable  or  peaceful 
settlement  of  the  trouble  between  the  two  nations.  We 
can  truthfully  say  that  this  has  been  our  desire  and  that 
we  have  so  expressed  it  to  our  Mother-Father,  that  Spirit 
who  control  all  flesh,  to  whom  we  give  all  the  glory,  for 
they  do  rule  the  minds  of  men.  We  ask  that  all  recognize 
war  as  a  disease  and  the  antidote  to  it,  Mother-Father, 
and  to  whom  all  should  say  these  words  of  love  as  well  as 
do  this  little  deed  of  child-like  faith,  to  which  faith  we 
should  cling,  for  it  is  that  faith  that  Jude  3,  which  we 
have  quoted.  Here  faith  stands  for  Mother-Father,  that 
master  piece  of  literature  that  brings  all  writings  into 
science,  for  there  is  no  discord  between  science  and  liter- 
ature, for  this  piece  brings  peace;  hence  the  Bible  and 
science  do  agree.  Christ  Jesus  proved  his  teachings  and 
those  teachings  are  proven  daily,  both  by  works  as  well 
as  the  teachings  of  Christ  Jesus.  This  proves  that  we  are 
joint  heirs  with  him  in  that  great  legacy  that  he  left  us 
and  of  which  Paul  spoke  so  fluently  about,  as  well  as 
writing  his  own  language  in  such  fine  form.  Then  to  be 
scientific  is  to  know  that  Christ  Jesus  does  live  and  have 

36 


his  being  in  Spirit,  also  that  we  too  are  correct  in  the  po- 
sition that  we  take  that  Spirit  is  all  in  all  and  all.  That 
in  a  comparative  sense  there  is  nothing  left  but  the  Christ, 
for  this  Christ  is  so  much  greater  than  the  world,  that  we 
loose  all  sense  of  fear  and  anger,  as  well  as  hate  in  this 
grand  thought,  that  we  too  are  sons  of  Spirit,  who  is  God. 

Allow  ourselves  to  be  controlled  by  this  Infinite  person 
and  all  evil  vanishes,  for  we  are  then  in  harmony  with 
Mother-Father,  which  is  Heaven,  and  that  we  can  under- 
stand them,  for  they  are  our  Mother-Father.  Thus  we 
gain  peace  for  the  individual,  gaining  peace  for  the  in- 
dividual by  and  through  his  piece,  Mother-Father.  We 
can  gain  it  for  the  family  and  if  for  the  family,  therefore 
the  community,  county,  city,  state,  therefore  for  the  Na- 
tion ;  hence  this  peace  can  be  gained  for  the  entire  world, 
but  we  must  treat  it  as  a  disease  just  as  Christ  Jesus 
treated  mankind  in  his  days,  in  the  flesh,  when  he  cast 
out  the  inharmony  in  Peter's  wife's  mother,  casting  out 
the  inharmony  of  her  settled  the  whole  question,  for  she 
got  up  out  of  bed,  and  went  to  work ;  hence  her  fever  was 
produced  by  anger,  which,  being  destroyed,  the  fever 
was  eliminated. 

How  simple  all  this  appears  as  we  gain  that  under- 
standing of  Mother-Father,  that  is  the  Mind  which  Christ 
Jesus  had.  We  thus  see  that  this  Mind  properly  taught 
will  lift  all  nations  out  of  their  crooked  ways  and  put 
them  into  the  straight  and  narrow  way,  which  is  Mother- 
Father.  This  proof  has  been  given  in  our  works  that  are 
mentioned  on  the  fly  leaves  of  this  pamphlet.  Thus  we 
see  that  it  is  the  individual  that  we  start  with,  but  we 
must  use  the  undivided  word  to  gain  the  same  results 
that  Christ  Jesus  gained.  This  undivided  word  is  the 
proven  pure  translated  perfect  word  of  Christ  Jesus,  for 
the  command  is  "Be  ye  perfect  as  I  am  perfect,"  .also, 
"and  for  their  sakes  I  sanctify  myself  th&t  they  also 
might  be  sanctified  through  the  truth,"  John.  We  have 
tried  to  make  this  plain  so  that  all  can  know  as  well  as 
we  do,  for  Spirit  is  no  respecter  of  person,  for  all  are  off- 


37 


springs  of  the  same  person,  yet  we  all  must  strive  to  enter 
in. 

Yet  the  door  is  Mother,  who  is  Infinite  Love  and 
through  her  we  come  into  the  knowledge  of  the  Father; 
hence  we  too  become  one  with  them,  for  we  live,  and  move 
and  have  our  being  in  them.  This  is  explained  in  John 
17,  but  here  we  find  that  some  robber  has  robbed  this  fine 
chapter  of  Abba  in  six  places.  All  can  rest  assured  that 
until  the  New  Testament  is  restored  to  its  original  status 
it  is  not  the  will  of  Christ  Jesus,  yet  when  this  is  done 
his  Kingdom  will  be  seen  where  ever  that  Grand  Will  is 
read.  This  is  a  work  that  can  and  will  be  taken  up  by 
the  peace  commission,  for  they  have  the  money  to  do  the 
work  and  it  is  their  work.  We  know  some  of  these  men 
and  can  say  that  we  have  no  fear  of  them  not  doing  the 
work  that  is  set  before  them,  thus  restoring  the  will  of 
our  Lord  and  Master,  Christ  Jesus,  in  all  of  its  simplicity 
and  grandeur  of  the  original  writing.  Should  these  gen- 
tlemen fail  we  know  that  that  Infinite  Mind  will  find 
some  one  else  that  will  carry  out  this  one  thing  that  is  so 
needful  to  the  entire  body  of  mankind. 

To  heal  disease,  the  waste  or  dead  material  must  be 
eliminated.  This  can  be  done  only  through  the  blood,  the 
action  of  this  blood  must  be  harmonious  as  a  whole.  There 
is  nothing  that  can  expel  this  inharmony  in  a  sure  and 
perfect  way  like  the  Christ  way,  which  is  Mother-Father. 
This  is  the  living  way,  the  living  fountain,  the  live  wire 
that  joins  man  to  man,  and  man  to  God,  or  more  properly 
speaking  Spirit.  Abba  belongs  to  the  dead  language, 
hence  it  has  no  place  among  the  living.  It  must  be  cast 
out  or  buried  as  all  dead  things  should  be.  Replace  Abba 
by  the  living  word  for  Mother,  in  any  language  that  the 
Bible  may  be  printed  in.  The  Bible  will  be  greatly  im- 
proved. All  flesh  should  unite  in  thus  honoring  that  Im- 
maculate son  of  Spirit,  our  elder  brother,  thus  following 
him  in  Spirit  and  in  Truth,  gaining  that  plaudit,  well 
done,  good  and  faithful  servant,  enter  into  the  joys  of  our 
Kingdom,  which  is  peace  on  earth  and  good  will  to  men. 
This  comes  from  doing  correctly  and  the  only  way  is  to 

38 


restore  his  will  which  was  written  in  perfect  harmony  by 
those  four  disciples,  Matthew,  Mark,  Luke  and  John. 
Thus  restored  we  could  and  would  bear  his  burden,  Moth- 
er-Father, and  it  would  only  be  a  short  time  until  all 
would  know  his  name,  my  name,  their  name,  even  from 
the  least  unto  the  greatest.  But  we  must  cast  out  the 
dead  from  the  living.  This  is  the  great  sanitary  material 
law  that  all  society  demands  of  us  and  is  correct. 

There  are  other  words  that  have  not  been  translated. 
These  have  been  taken  up  in  the  Character  Builder  and 
its  colleagues  and  discussed.  The  word  sin  comes  in  as  a 
dead  language  word.  Christ  Jesus  used  the  word  in  the 
sense  of  light  when  he  said,  he  that  is  without  sin  let  him 
cast  the  first  stone.  His  very  presence  produced  this 
effect  in  their  faces  just  as  the  presence  of  Spirit  pro- 
duced that  effect  in  the  face  of  that  grand  man,  Moses, 
whose  face  was  all  aglow,  so  much  so  that  none  of  the 
children  of  Israel  could  look  upon  him.  All  of  these  men 
that  brought  this  woman  to  Christ  Jesus  knew  him  and 
were  not  afraid  of  him,  for  they  had  learned  his  piece  and 
were  helping  him  to  clean  up  the  nation.  This  word,  sin, 
cannot  be  translated  into  any  other  word  than  moon. 
Where  moon  means  his  brightness  or  that  light  that  light- 
eneth  from  the  East  even  unto  the  West  as  the  moon  does 
and  as  Mother-Father  will  do  when  placed  in  the  Bible 
in  proper  form.  That  this  phrase  is  the  living  truth  is 
proving  itself  daily  and  any  one  can  use  this  Gospel,  for 
it  does  spell  God  as  no  other  word  can.  Mother-Father — 
is  Spirit  as  Christ  Jesus  recognized  them.  For  this  phrase 
properly  handled  proves  that  all  are  the  sons  of  God  and 
that  God  is  Spirit,  that  Christ  Jesus  is  the  Immortal  Im- 
maculte  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  who  lacked  nothing  as  far 
as  Spirit  is  concerned,  nor  is  there  anything  impossible 
with  him.  He  rules  all  flesh.  Hence  he  rules  all  of  their 
sons,  yet  when  we  address  him  we  should  do  this  address- 
ing in  an  humble  manner,  and  the  only  way  is  the  Christ 
way  as  Jesus  did  it.  He  used  Abba-Atta,  which,  translated 
is  Mother-Father — this  is  the  true  way  that  he  fished  for 
men  and  taught  all  of  his  followers  to  walk  in  this  straight 

39 


and  narrow  way.  When  he  used  Abba-Atta — this  phrase 
belonged  to  a  living  language.  Now  that  language  is  dead. 
One-half  of  it  is  living  as  the  Bible  has  it,  but  the  greater 
half  is  dead,  for  all  gentlemen  recognize  their  wife  as  the 
better  half.  Hence  Mother  being  the  better  half  should 
be  restored  in  all  places  where  Abba  has  been  eliminated, 
then  the  Bible  will  cause  the  people  to  grow  in  grace,  for 
grace  will  then  be  restored  and  faith  also,  so  people  can 
easily  find  that  mind  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus.  Then  will 
the  cookies  be  put  on  the  lower  shelf  where  the  babies  can 
get  them,  for  many  are  yet  babes  in  Christ  Jesus. 

Then  the  people  will  grow  strong  and  our  men  will  be 
played  for  the  people  and  the  city  of  our  God.  Then  the 
Gentiles  shall  see  a  great  light  and  this  great  light  will  be 
caused  by  the  use  of  Mother-Father.  Then  will  we  feel 
the  effect  of  their  kingdom  and  see  it.  So  we  then,  in  our 
great  law  of  Health  see  that  the  Master's  saying  is  Moth- 
er-Father, and  he  who  keeps  this  saying  shall  never  see 
death,  for  the  light  does  shine  in  dark  places,  and  this 
light  is  Spirit,  the  same  that  sups  with  us  as  we,  in  our 
silent  hour  think  Mother-Father,  not  on  our  bended 
knees,  but  erect  as  men  worshipping  in  Spirit  and  in 
Truth  communing  one  with  another,  always  thinking 
Mother-Father,  after  desiring  to  do  good  to  our  fellow 
men.  Thus  desire  is  prayer  and  saying  Mother-Father  is 
the  asking  that  prayer  may  be  answered,  as  we  write  our 
great  desire  is  that  that  inharmony  between  the  great 
people  that  are  at  strife  be  overcome  and  that  by  Spirit 
we  feel  that  our  prayer  is  being  answered.  We  also  know 
that  it  is  the  only  way,  but  to  be  permanent  we  must  cast 
those  dead  words  out  of  the  Bible  and  replace  all  words 
of  the  form  of  Abba  by  Mother,  then  we  have  that  pearl 
of  great  price,  Mother-Father,  by  which  Christ  Jesus 
overcome  the  world,  hence  this  phrase  will  overcome  the 
world  for  us  if  we  will  build  our  character  upon  it,  for  it 
is  the  great  foundation  stone  on  which  all  character  is 
built.  But  those  that  have  this  foundation  stone  are  per- 
fect, as  Christ  Jesus  is  perfect ;  hence  he  that  thus  build- 
eth  builds  as  described  in  the  Bible  without  hands,  then  it 

40 


behooves  all  to  put  in  this  chief  cornerstone  and  see  to  it 
that  it  is  well  placed  and  the  foundation  is  firm.  This 
foundation  stone  is  the  burden  or  message  that  that  Im- 
maculate prophet  who  came  from  Spirit  and  returned  to 
Spirit,  delivered  unto  the  saints  or  those  that  were  sent, 
that  is  the  twelve,  the  seventy,  the  five  hundred,  the  four 
thousand  and  many  others  that  received  this  Gospel. 

Apply  this  phrase  as  we  have  mapped  out  and  the 
Bible  will  glow,  for  then  it  will  be  true  of  it  that  this  great 
family  tree  of  the  Jewish  nation,  leaves  will  heal  the  na- 
tions of  all  their  errors  or  anger.  "When  this  is  done  then 
peace  reigns,  and  his  Kingdom  is  come. 

We  have  said  that  anger  is  the  basis  of  all  disease. 
Since  this  is  true  we  can  see  why  Christ  Jesus  said,  "Love 
ye  one  another."  He  obeyed  this  command  in  his  own 
household  of  Spirit,  for  he  said  in  that  language  that  was 
then  spoken  in  Judea,  Mother-Father,  not  my  will,  but 
thine  be  done.  He  knew  that  he  came  from  Spirit  and  re- 
turned to  Spirit,  yet  he  recognized  that  all  of  mankind  are 
his  brethren,  thus  we  see  this  great  teacher  of  men  teach- 
ing them  all  how  to  catch  men,  that  is,  showing  them  how 
to  get  rid  of  their  troubles,  for  troubles  have  their  origin 
in  that  old  lie  who  Christ  Jesus  called  evil,  evil  being  an 
untranslated  word  which  translated,  is  anger.  Thus  we 
find  that  we  differentiate  all  these  dead  words.  We  have 
the  living  truth  and  this  living  truth  is  Mother-Father, 
that  is  we  cannot  differentiate  Truth  from  Love  and  life, 
for  these  three  blend  into  one  harmonious  whole  just  as 
Mother-Father-Son  is  that  great  Integer  of  Divine  love 
that  we  have  worked  out  from  that  Infinite  Calculus  of 
Infinite  divine  love  that  we  describe  in  the  Character 
Builder,  and  have  quoted  the  "Divine  Infinite  Calculus" 
from  Science  and  Health  with  the  Key  to  the  Scriptures, 
page  520-14-15,  by  Mrs.  Mary  Baker  Eddy.  This  is  the 
true  sum  of  the  sermon  on  the  Mount,  in  these  words 
Mother-Father,  where  the  hyphen  is  Truth.  The  bond 
that  binds  love  to  life  and  establishes  forevermore  the 
triune  God,  or  Good,  whose  name  they,  our  parents  say,  is 
Mother-Father,  which  thought  does  beget  love,  hence 

41 


love  ye  one  another  is  also  correct,  therefore  we  prove 
all  things  and  hold  fast  to  the  Good,  the  real  and  the  true, 
for  this  great  Mother-Father,  who  created  us  forms  the 
great  human  family,  both  the  seen  and  invisible,  who  are 
always  present  with  us,  for  we  all  be  brethren  of  one  God- 
head of  whom  Christ  Jesus  is  the  elder  brother ;  hence  we 
are  joint  heirs  to  this  great  inheritance  of  that  great 
Truth  that  sets  free  from  anger  and  its  accompaniments 
which  are  legions.  This  great  scientific  work  of  Christ 
Jesus  should  be  demonstrated  so  that  all  may  travel  the 
straight  and  narrow  way  now,  for  we  all  must  know  this 
way  since  it  is  their  name.  We  can  not  say  too  much  in 
the  favor  of  using  this  way  as  the  child  way. 

In  all  of  our  writings  we  have  tried  to  avoid  the  throw- 
ing of  mud  or  dirt  on  any  one,  to  cause  any  one  or  any- 
body of  persons  to  become  angry  is  not  doing  right,  for 
that  is  not  obeying  the  great  law  of  love.  There  is  no  ne- 
cessity for  to  become  angry  with  any  one,  in  any  field  of 
work,  for  we  all  should  follow  the  meek  and  lowly  Christ 
Jesus.  We  get  a  glimpse  of  the  true  Christ  on  the  even- 
ing of  his  arrest,  when  he  healed  the  servant's  ear  after 
Peter  had,  in  one  of  his  angry  moods,  cut  it  off.  "He 
touched  it  and  healed  it."  Peter  had  hit  a  heavy  blow, 
cutting  the  member  from  the  body.  Christ  Jesus  was 
moved  for  this  man  of  humble  character  (for  he  knew 
how  to  serve),  who  was  a  servant  of  the  high  priest, 
hence  a  Jew,  and  therefore  one  to  whom  Christ  Jesus  had 
been  sent  to  tell  this  tale  of  love,  that  Mother-Father, 
whom  the  Jews  called  Lord  or  Jehovah,  desired  their 
children  to  call  them  Mother-Father.  This  is  the  true 
mission  of  the  Christ  now  and  forevermore.  This  has 
always  been  Christ's  mission  and  this  Spirit  has  always 
been  in  the  world.  Spirit  gives  to  their  children  just  as 
they  ask,  as  we  desire  to  do  good,  then  let  us  ask  aright, 
that  is  ask  as  Christ  Jesus  did.  He  asked  Mother-Father 
and  always  received,  for  he  never  asked  amiss.  This 
Spirit  will  build  up  and  will  fulfill  all  the  promises  in 
Psalms  91. 

There  is  one  command  that  we  should  not  forget,  that 

42 


does  not  appear  in  the  Bible  in  the  form  given  here  and 
that  is  "Look."  Yet  Christ  Jesus  puts  it  thus.  If  the 
blind  lead  the  blind  they  will  both  fall  into  the  ditch. 
Then  let  us  Look  as  Moses  commanded  in  the  wilderness 
when  he  raised  up  the  brazen  serpent,  something  that  we 
need  not  do,  for  we  are  following  Christ  Jesus,  who  said, 
go  ye  into  all  the  world,  preach  or  talk  these  words 
which  spell  Good.  Let  us  be  honest  and  look  for  we  are 
dead  to  the  world,  and  need  not  participate  in  any  wrong 
dong.  We  need  not  draw  the  sword,  but  we  can  all  say 
Mother-Father,  and  when  the  entire  world  does  this  then 
we  will  see  the  whole  world  glow,  the  faces  will  all  have 
that  light  in  them  that  lighteth  the  world ;  thus  anger  is 
overcome.  This  eliminates  all  disease,  destroys  all  error 
by  this  simple  little  child-saying,  Mother-Father,  for  this 
is  the  whole  Truth,  and  this  Truth  will  cause  the  world  to 
rejoice,  for  this  phrase  will  overcome  and  even  the  gates 
of  Hell  cannot  prevail  against  it,  for  it  differentiates  all 
error,  since  by  this  differentiating  all  the  nothings  are 
dropped  out  and  only  the  real  and  eternal  are  conserved. 
Thus  we  begin  to  see  our  way  clear  to  show  the  way  over 
the  mathematical  way  which  is  straight  and  narrow  and 
does  consist  of  the  two  words  Mother-Father.  Thus  we 
find  that  there  is  only  one  way  that  is  correct  and  that  is 
the  way  our  Redeemer  trod  to  eternal  harmony,  Mother- 
Father  is  this  way  and  this  way  gives  us  the 
eternal  law  to  Health,  therefore  restore  the  Bible  into  its 
primitive  simplicity,  and  we  have  a  scientific  book  of  the 
first  water.  Then  all  can  unite  on  one  platform,  for  Har- 
mony will  be  restored,  war  will  cease,  and  all  can  unite 
on  the  password  to  the  brotherhood  of  man.  Then  every 
one  will  have  plenty,  for  the  sense  of  want  will  have  van- 
ished, and  we  will  have  one  grand  and  great  home  in 
which  we  will  have  one  united  people.

AN  INTERCEPTED  LETTER. 

DITORS  of  Educational  News,  many  thanks  for  the 
April  number  of  your  journal.  On  page  255  we 
quote  from  Helen  Keller  the  following  words,  ' l  Not 
until  we  let  the  child  lead  us  shall  we  find  the  true  edu- 
cation", "Suffer  little  children  to  come  unto  me,  sayeth 
the  Spirit. "  "  And  a  little  child  shall  lead  them, ' '  sayeth 
Isaias.  These  all  point  to  the  volume  that  we  left  you  to- 
day, The  Scientific  Healer,  or  the  Great  Moral  Philoso- 
pher. Without  that  one  great  thought  contained  in  this 
work  we  can  do  nothing,  for  we  are  as  sounding  brass,  or 
a  tinkling  cymbal.  We  do  not  know  where  we  are  from, 
where  we  are  going,  or  what  we  are  here  for.  We  quote 
again  from  Miss  Helen  Keller,  ' '  The  greatest  asset  of  the 
Nation  is  its  children."  "Locked  up  in  them  are  the  re- 
sources, the  talents  and  the  potentialities  that  will  shape 
the  destinies  of  the  race."  Then  use  the  key  that  will 
unlock  and  let  loose  these  qualities  in  these  young  people. 
This  is  so  easily  done  that  the  world  will  blush  when  they 
find  out  this  great  joined  stone  that  has  been  hid  away 
for  so  long  a  time. 

"A  wise  generation  should  see  to  it  that  none  of  these 
precious  resources  are  wasted,"  Helen  Keller.  It  is  true 
that  the  waste  is  enormous,  way  beyond  computation  in 
dollars  and  cents.  Yet  the  fixing  of  one  phrase  in  the 
mind  of  the  child  would  do  much  to  stop  this  waste,  for 
this  cornerstone  to  character  is  simply  a  phrase  that  that 
greatest  of  teachers  taught,  but  is  not  taught  at  present. 
Even  our  churches  do  not  teach  it;  it  is  not  taught  in  the 
Bible.  Teaching  to  be  well  done  must  get  results.  We 
must  get  results.  We  want  perfect  results.  Some  say 
that  Christ  Jesus  is  not  the  son  of  Jehovah.  This  work 
that  we  refer  to  settles  this  in  the  affirmative  forever 
more.  Then  give  it  to  the  child  so  that  child  may  become 
a  good  citizen,  of  value  to  his  state  as  well  as  his  fellow- 
man. 

' '  This  brings  me  back  to  where  I  started :  I  make  a  plea

the  people  and  secure  for  them  means  and  opportunity  of 
service  and  expression,  education  that  will  open  up  to 
them  everything  that  has  ever  engaged  the  great  and 
eager  affections  of  men  and  women  since  time  began," 
Helen  Keller.  What  a  plea?  Does  God,  that  Infinite 
Spirit  answer  such  prayers?  Yes,  always  yes.  Can  you 
down  such  a  spirit  as  Helen  Keller?  Can  you  down 
Truth  ?  You  may  doubt  that  the  sun  doth  move,  but  you 
can  not  doubt  that  Helen  Keller  loves  all.  Her  writings 
prove  it.  We  would  rather  be  a  world  lover  than  have  the 
greatest  office  in  the  gift  of  the  people.  We  have  summed 
up  in  the  work  referred  to  the  mode  of  the  greatest  teach- 
er that  ever  taught  so  that  the  little  child  can  lead  us 
into  all  truth.
